Content Teaching Academy Summer 2008
The 2008 Content Teaching Academy is scheduled for the week of June 23-27, 2008, on the campus of James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, Virginia. All educators are invited to apply for enrollment!Educating with an Eye to the Future!
The goal of the Content Teaching Academy is to provide high quality professional programs for the educators of Virginia by offering in-depth studies in a range of content areas and pedagogical emphases that engage participants in critical dialogues of practice.
- The Participants are educators who understand that teaching is a life-long learning endeavor. They vary from those who are relatively new to the field to those who are veteran teachers.
- Completion of an Academy constitutes an institute which is one of the options that may be used for veteran teachers to attain "highly-qualified" status under NCLB. (See Licensure.)
- The Faculty of each Academy is comprised of scholars and master teachers who understand the challenges associated with today's classroom.
The Content Teaching Academy is a collaborative effort between James Madison University and the Virginia Department of Education.
