VAILL 2008: Virginia Institutes for Lifelong Learning
Plan to attend one of this summer's Virginia Institutes for Lifelong Learning. These highly-attended conferences provide Virginia's adult education and ESOL teachers, volunteers, tutors, and administrations with valuable professional development opportunities. Professionals from across Virginia will gather to network, share ideas, and get the most up-to-date information, as well as practical teaching techniques that they will be able to take back to their classrooms.
For both conferences, a $30.00 registration fee and advanced registration are required. VAILL is supported by federal leadership funds from the Workforce Investment Act, Title II, Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, administered by the Virginia Department of Education, Office of Adult Education and Literacy, and Radford University.
