Conferences
Join us for Oregon AEYC's upcoming Spring Professional
Development Institute, at the Center for Meeting and
Learning at Lane Community College in Eugene on April
11 & 12, 2008.
Friday, April 11:
The Professional Development Institute for Mentors,
Teacher Educators, College Instructors, Trainers, Education
Coordinators, Directors, Students and Early Childhood
Leaders offers 6 1/2 clock hours of training on Friday
in addition to the Saturday conference for those seeking
a more intensive experience.
In a diverse world, teacher preparation and mentoring
requires a multi-faceted approach. Trainers, teachers
educators, and education coordinators must be prepared
to work with diverse groups of students or trainees
who may not share the trainers’ language, world
view, or conception of child development. Trainers and
educators must also prepare student teachers to work
authentically and effectively with diverse groups of
children and families. Finally, as educational institutions
(colleges, universities) provide both access to credentials
and barriers to access, trainers and teacher educators
play an important role in supporting students and trainees
as they negotiate institutional requirements.
