IACTE Colleagues –

We currently have nine of our member institutions registered to participate in the IACTE Day at the Statehouse.  There still is time to send us names of candidates from your institution who might participate.  We would need information no later than the end of the day, Monday March 4.  This is a great opportunity for your candidates to talk with state legislators and promote our great profession of teaching.

Please forward to Jonathan Dee (jjdee@bsu.edu) or myself the information requested here, should you plan to participate.

Thank you –

Jill

IACTE Executive Secretary

The fourth annual IACTE Day at the Indiana Statehouse - “Meet Indiana’s Future: Our Future Teachers” - is March 13, 2019.  All IACTE members are encouraged to join us for a day where junior and senior teacher candidates, Indiana’s future teachers, may interact with their legislators to discuss and to highlight the clinical and real world experiences that they have throughout their programs.  Our event will be on the south side of the Statehouse third floor. A light lunch will be served.  The entire program will run from 10:30AM until 1:30PM Eastern Time.

As an IACTE member institution, we encourage you to identify and support the travel for two-three teacher candidates and a faculty or staff representative to participate in this important event. Also we are asking that participating institutions pay a registration fee of $100 to help support the lunch that we have for the legislators and students. Attached is an “invoice” in which you can include your institution name and the fee amount.  ($100 is the minimum registration fee.  Any additional support will be appreciated.)

IACTE Colleagues -

We have had a positive response to our IACTE Summit Our Future: Working Together to Recruit and Retain High Quality Teachers.  We have approximately 100 individuals from P-12 schools, higher education and community stakeholders registered to attend.  There still is time to register and to participate in this timely, informative Summit. The agenda has been finalized and is attached.

If you have not registered yet, please do! Please share the Summit agenda attached and encourage colleagues and school partners to join the discussion. We are looking forward to seeing each of you next Friday in Indianapolis at the Butler University, South Campus.
