What New educators attending AOE for the first time in 2007 had to say:
"As a soon-to-be Program Director,
the information was just what I needed. "
|
"As a new educator, this was a fabulous
way to start off my “new” career." |
"I think the most beneficial item that I
was able to take away from the overall
conference were the sample lesson plans." |
What Returning educators attending AOE for the first time in 2007 had to say:
|
"Learning all the things I did not know I
needed to know, and networking with
other educators. " |
"I think the program helped me realize what my job
really entails now. It helped me see the gaps in our program,
and with this information I feel I can prepare corrective action
plans and move forward in getting my program on the best
track that I can. I also really liked the tracks - I thought that was very
smart way of getting the most information to the largest number
of people in the shortest amount of time."
|
"The pace was great! Everyone was helpful and friendly.
I have been attending AOE Faculty Development
Institute for four years, and they get better and better each year"
