Dear Colleagues,

This is your invitation to present at the 2006 MIDTESOL Conference. This year our theme “Classroom to Career” helps us focus on our students who are working hard to become productive citizens of the US and the world. Whether they’re preparing to enroll in college in the US or preparing to enter the workplace, our students need all that we can offer them so they can survive in our current economy.

Highlights of the 2006 conference include a full day’s outing to Postville, Iowa to see how a sudden influx of Mexicans, Vietnamese and Hasidic Jews transformed a sleepy town virtually overnight. We’ll meet with local leaders, visit schools, churches and the meat-packing plants that drive the town’s economy. We will also feature a nationally known workshop speaker on ELP standards and assessment and, of course, loads of practical ideas for everyone.

This convention will surely be special. At MIDTESOL conferences, you’ll find an intimate and nurturing environment with plenty of opportunities for questions. Plus, you’ll meet up with old friends and make new ones. By presenting, you become a part of the magic by sharing your knowledge and experience with your colleagues.

We encourage you to become part of this program. If you have never presented before – even better; because this is a great chance to simply share “what works” with your fellow teachers.

We hope you decide to present.
