Wilmington University’s Dover Site Will Host Future Educators of America Fall Conference
Friday, November 06, 2009 - Dover, DE
Wilmington University, in partnership with the statewide Future Educators of America and the University of Delaware, is proud to host the Future Educators of America’s Fall Conference on Tuesday, November 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Conference will be held at Wilmington University’s Dover site on DuPont Highway.
The Future Educators of America is an organization aimed at providing high school students who are interested in education-related careers with “activities and materials that help them explore the teaching profession in a variety of ways.”
The Fall Conference will involve several educational panels featuring local experts from the Delaware Higher Education Commission, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, Phi Delta Kappa International (the professional association in education), and the Mid Atlantic Association for Employment in Education. High school juniors and seniors who participate in the Future Educators of America at their schools have been invited to attend the event.
“We are thrilled to be hosting the Fall Conference,” said Sylvia Brooks, Coordinator for Clinical Studies and Assistant Professor at Wilmington University, “One of our fundamental goals in the College of Education at Wilmington University is to adequately prepare our students and future Wilmington University students for blossoming careers as professional educations. This conference is sure to be a great learning experience for all as well as being a great way to network.”
Attendees will be provided a continental breakfast and lunch. For more information please contact Sylvia Brooks at (302) 356-6978.
