The U.S. Department of Education (ED) will again host a series of workshops for teachers and principals in the summer of 2005. Some of the nation's best teachers and researchers will share their strategies for raising student achievement and informing teachers of the latest successful research-based practices. The registration and professional development sessions are free-of-charge. Meals and refreshments will be provided during scheduled workshop activities; however, participants will be responsible for their own transportation and lodging expenses.
The 2005 Teacher-to-Teacher Summer Workshops will be geared toward K-12 teachers and principals. The subjects covered will be evenly distributed among elementary and secondary school instruction. Breakout sessions will cover the content areas of literacy, reading, mathematics, science, and history. Additional sessions will be held on special education, English language learners, school leadership, the No Child Left Behind Act, using data effectively, federal grant writing, and teaching strategies that can enable all levels of students to improve academically.
The 2005 Teacher-to-Teacher Summer Workshops are scheduled to be held in the following six cities:
- Cincinnati, Ohio (June 20-22)
- Phoenix, Arizona (June 27-29)
- Minneapolis, Minnesota (July 11-13)
- Tampa, Florida (July 18-20)
- Bethesda, Maryland (July 25-27)
