New Kindergarten and Early Literacy Web Seminars for Your Professional Development: Coming in 2010.
Accelerated Kindergarten and Early Literacy. These practical seminars include video clips from actual classrooms.
Each fifty-minute web seminar topic will feature our action-research from exemplary kindergarten classrooms and include a detailed, full-color, professional e-Book. These thirty- to forty-page documents will follow the seminar research and practical strategies with detailed page-by-page content. Most of the web seminars will be presented by Nellie Edge and, for an additional fee, are available for professional development credits to the designated university with a follow-up practicum project. More details will be available in Spring 2010. Subscribe to our Newsletter for announcements.

It is anticipated that most of the seminar registration fees will be $69.00-$89.00; however, we are exploring funding sources so we can offer some complimentary web seminars to all of our newsletter friends. For those of you who are not able to fly out to Oregon and join us live, web seminars are the next best thing. We look forward to sharing these proven practices for excellence in kindergarten and early literacy with you! N.E.
