As we transition from a wonderful two year time frame under the direction of Mercedes Muñiz-Peredo, we think back on our great experiences and conferences and yet still look forward to new and exciting adventures in world language education. Your two new Co-Presidents, Julie Canady and Jill Woerner, bring a sense of inclusion of students and educators, exploration of language and culture and global awareness to the table with true IN-NELL spirit. We believe strongly in starting your profession on the right foot with getting involved and building a solid repertoire of experiences and learning. If you are a teacher in your first three years of teaching, you found us at the right time and will see some great new events that we want you to attend!!!
We are excited to open the fall conference season with a dynamic speaker who can share with us strategies to bring world language instruction to our students who have learning disabilities and those who struggle with language learning. We hope you are able to clear your calendar for a portion of the day to join us for such an important workshop. You won’t be disappointed as you will leave rejuvenated, full of new and powerful information and right at the perfect time: The start of the second quarter and around Parent/Teacher Conferences. We want you to return to school ready to answer questions, solve problems and feel at the top of your game.
We are looking forward to bringing you a series of informative and wonderful conference workshops over the next two years. Please spread the word about the fun you’ve had and the quantity of information that you have learned from IN-NELL conferences of the past and gear up for two years of powerful learning, collaboration and networking with a dose of fun in every conference. We hope to see you on October 3rd and 4th, 2014.
Julie Canady & Jill Woerner, Co-Presidents
