Reservations are limited to two people per company per event. In an effort to meet this demand and provide better education for our children, the NV Center has created the Career Pathways in Education seminar series designed to interest new people in careers in education, encourage current teachers to renew their commitment to teaching, and connect retiring teachers with opportunities in the business community. In order to ensure that this initiative is successful, we need the support of Northern Virginia's business and technology community. Funds are needed to advertise and grow the Pathways program and provide seed money for new programs targeted toward improving education through teacher development. Members of UVA's Friends of Education program will be acknowledged throughout the year in advertisements and promotional materials for the Pathways series.
All donations are tax-deductible.
These computer lab-based sessions are designed for professionals with varying level of ability beginner through intermediate who wish to enhance their technical prowess. On Wednesday, April 25 from 4-6pm, the NV Center will host an Open House designed to showcase UVA's many programs for educators offered in Northern Virginia. Teachers, liberal arts graduates, career changers, those with provisional licenses, and other prospective students are invited to come pick up information, meet staff and faculty, ask questions, and enjoy light refreshments. Held at the Library of Congress, this three-day seminar confronts the challenges and opportunities of digital and Internet publication, and provides participants with the tools to develop competitive strategies for coping with the radical changes redefining the industry. Sponsored in part by a grant from Exxon Mobil, this innovative, one-day program is designed to prepare individuals without teaching experience to feel comfortable in the classroom as substitute teachers.
