We made the decision to postpone the 2009 National Conference in response to the many schools that couldn't attend. However, we have heard from several of you who still want a professional development experience during the time of the conference.  As an alternative, we are offering a National Seminars series. These seminars will allow for great networking opportunities and will include professional development focused on literacy, math, leadership and data.

These interactive sessions—originally provided only as pre-conference sessions—will help you to explore new approaches and resources as we partner to improve student performance and transform schools across the country.

The registration fee will remain the same as for early conference registration.  For this fee, you will be able to participate in four seminars. The sessions will begin at 1:00 on Thursday, February 5, and end at 12:30 on Saturday, February 7.

A copy of the seminar brochure with registration form is available here.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, you can fax the registration form to 866.527.2856.

You can also register online with a credit card by clicking here.

If you have any questions, please contact Bob Pettit as soon as possible at 904.399.2206 or at bpettit@americaschoice.org. If you had earlier booked space at the resort, but do not plan on attending, please call Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and Convention Center at 407-939-1020 to cancel your room reservation.

Thank you for your understanding as we work towards ways to best serve our partner schools during uncertain times.  We value your insights and suggestions and would love to hear from you.
