Building Tomorrow, Today
Plan now to attend Building Tomorrow, Today, the Virginia Institute for Lifelong Learning (VAILL) 2007. VAILL will be held July 18-20 on the campus of Radford University. The agenda will feature strands of topics for program managers, EL/Civics, GED standards, technology, ESOL program development in rural areas, and CBLOs. Housing and food will be provided from noon on Wednesday, July 18th through Friday, July 20th.
This is a wonderful opportunity to come learn and share with fellow adult education practitioners from across Virginia. The Office of Adult Education and Literacy provides the funding for the institute to strengthen adult education programs and instruction. As a participant, you will be able to attend sessions on topics of current interest. You won’t find a better deal anywhere else. You’ll come, attend sessions, share and gain knowledge, and then return to your classroom renewed and refreshed with new ideas and methods to implement. All you need to do is complete the registration form and mail it along with a $25 registration fee. Meals and lodging are provided by the funds from the Office of Adult Education and Literacy. There is an additional charge for a private room as noted on the registration form.
