New in 2007 Perkins IV Preconference Session

This session will be held on Monday, April 16, from 8 am to 4 pm for state and local career and technical education administrators. Designed to help you effectively implement Perkins IV, the day’s session will cover:

  • Detailed overview of the new Perkins Act: provisions that impact state and local plans, accountability, improvement plans, sanctions and programs and services for special population students

  • State plan reviews: developing a 5-year plan from a 1-year transition plan

  • Local applications: models for ensuring the success of special population students

  • Accountability: collecting valid and reliable data, disaggregating data, and using data to drive program improvement

  • Improvement plans: models for working with local educational agencies not meeting their performance on the nontraditional core indicator

  • Collaborations: internal and external connections for strategic coalition building to develop strong state and local plans that support the development of CTE


 

Special Event (Wednesday, April 18, 7:30 pm)

Join us for the Arena Stage's presentation of The Heidi Chronicles. In this insightful comedy, Heidi Holland, feminist art historian, recounts significant milestones in her life—meeting lifelong friends at '60s political events, her own uncertain activism in the '70s, and finally confronting her inner turmoil over her role as a woman of the '80s and '90's. The winner of every major award in 1989, including the Tony and the Pulitzer, The Heidi Chronicles ignited Wendy Wasserstein's illustrious career, which was cut short by her untimely death in 2006.
 

Program Advertising and Conference Sponsorship
Here is a great way for you to support the NAPE Education Foundation and advertise your business or show your support for equity in education. Your advertisement will be seen by individuals from the public, private, and the corporate sector from all over the country, including Hawaii and Alaska, that attend the NAPE Professional Development Institute and will be indicative of your support in promoting equitable classrooms and workplaces. Advertisers and sponsors will be highlighted on the NAPE website increasing the visibility of your support. Click here for the Ad Book Sponsors Form.

All proceeds from the program advertisements and conference sponsorships will be donated to the NAPE Education Foundation. The Foundation was initiated as a result of state and local education and workforce agencies requesting assistance with program improvement efforts.  As a result, its mission evolved and is focused on expanding career options and the economic potential of America’s diverse workforce. Currently we are working on projects that target underrepresented groups in information technology programs and increasing the participation of females in science, technology, engineering and math related careers. These projects include partnerships with organizations like the National Academy of Engineering, Cisco Systems Inc. and Project Lead the Way. Proceeds from the silent auction and the program advertising will be used to support projects like these.

All donations are tax deductible as the NAPE Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
