The NH e-Learning for Educators project has a few openings for free online facilitator training. The 10 week course will start on July 25th, however, there are also a few openings for the May 16th start date. I know it is short notice for the May date, but I offer because it is available and may suit a few interested people a little better!

We only have a few openings in July as well, so please act fast, if you are interested. I would like to award these seats to those of you who have taken OPEN NH courses in the past. Once the training course has been completed, you will be able to teach courses through OPEN NH.

If this opportunity interests you, please email me:
1. Your current resume.
2. A brief letter of interest and intent.
3. Your preferred start date.

Seats are very limited, so please respond as soon as you can. If you are interested in the May 16th start date, respond even quicker!

Send your information to Stan Freeda at Stanley.Freeda@doe.nh.gov.

Thanks,
Stan

Please help get the word out about "Speak Up for America's Future Teachers"!

Speak Up

2012 for America's Future Teachers is a unique opportunity for America’s next generation of teachers to “speak up” about their views on their career choice and share their ideas about how to leverage technology within learning. Since the launch of the survey, over 1,100 surveys have been submitted by students from more than 160 universities/colleges nationwide.

There's still time to participate! If you or someone you know is in a teacher preparation program please visit our website to take the survey today! Participation is open to all students in teacher preparation programs both at the undergraduate and graduate level as well as career changers in special programs.

The national data findings will be used to inform national policies on technology use in education, and to inform K-12 school and district leaders on the aspirations of tomorrow’s teachers.

The online surveys will be open for input through next Friday May 11th at: www.speakup4highered.org/speakup2012.

Why participate in Speak Up?

§ This is a unique opportunity for America’s next generation of teachers to “speak up” about their views on their career choice and share their ideas about how to leverage technology within learning.

§ Project Tomorrow will release a national report on the survey findings in fall of 2012 in a special Congressional Briefing in Washington DC. Results will be shared with policymakers, academic research organizations and media.

§ Project Tomorrow will provide all teacher preparation programs with a copy of the national report and findings. An optional question on the survey asks students to identify their institution and if the data set is supportive, Project Tomorrow will also share institutional level data with that particular college or university.

§ All information is 100% confidential. The surveys take less than 20 minutes to complete.

The question themes this year include learning and teaching with technology, and new emerging technology issues such as mobile devices, blended learning, digital content and learning games.
