The Wayland
Union Education Foundation has announced three winners of the Wayland Union Schools National Teacher Conference Awards for this fall.Robinson and Thebo, drama co-directors, were granted attendance to the South Eastern Theatre Conference, in Greensboro, N.C., March 2-6. This conference will help to enhance instruction in the language classrooms, and it will enrich the drama program at the middle school.
The information gained by attending this conference will help to create alternative, engaging, learning opportunities. These may take the form of social learning projects, curriculum-based student performances, and other community learning activities. This conference emphasizes the importance of presentation skills and how to teach/apply these skills in the classroom. Students will build their soft-skills which will prepare them for future educational or career expectations.
Conference awards were granted in the amount of $3,479.
Education Foundation gives the Wayland Union Schools teaching staff an opportunity to apply for national conferences two times each school year. In September, applications are accepted for fall/winter conferences, and in February, another round of applications will become available for attendance at a national conference in the spring/summer.
