Teacher Educator stipends are available for the 14th year. The stipends support attendance at the 2010 International Conference of the Learning Disabilities Association of America in Baltimore’s Marriott Waterfront Hotel, February 17-20, 2010. Two-person teams must include one faculty member who trains teachers to work with children with learning disabilities and one who teaches general education courses taken by those teachers. Both must be from the same institution. The four selected teams can be reimbursed for airfare, lodging, meal, and parking expenses up to $1,000 per team. Registration and Banquet fees are waived.
Wednesday afternoon’s Professional Preparation Workshop at the Conference focuses on the difficulties of transition from high school to post-secondary higher education from a variety of perspectives. General session speakers will be Martha Denckla, Lisa Dieker, and Michelle Rhee, who is Chancellor of the D.C. Public Schools. Over 200 other sessions will fill the four-day conference with information, networking opportunities, and greater understanding of the challenges student with learning disabilities face, and their teachers, face.
