College Interest Section

Spring College Interest Section Event April 14, 2012

The 2012 AIS Spring Event is scheduled for Saturday, April 14th from 10:30am to 12:30 at Neighborhood House in St. Paul.

Many of you were at our MinneTESOL Conference meeting in the fall. We discussed the challenges and opportunities surrounding part-time employment in teaching. We want to continue along that vein for our Spring Event. We are organizing a panel of employers from both ABE/ESL organizations and colleges/universities. The panel will discuss and answer questions concerning what makes an ESL teacher a good candidate for full-time employment.

We will release more information as it becomes available.

Thank you and hope to see you on April 14th.

More information: Carol Foye Wallin, foye0001@umn.edu,
