Major Forums to Sharpen Our Vision
Each week, the date for AACTE’s 65th Annual Meeting draws closer. And each week, more details about the agenda are fine-tuned and announced. Can you feel the growing excitement in the air?
You can add two more Major Forums to the list of educational opportunities that will make this conference the must-attend professional event of 2013. Scheduled on consecutive days, these next sessions were developed as a complementary pair to stimulate thought and generate discussion about the future direction of educator preparation.
