Dear Colleagues:
It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the 2009 AILACTE Annual
Meeting and Conference. The sessions truly focused on the importance
of our missions as they guide the teacher education programs in
liberal arts colleges and universities. There were many highlights
at the conference.
- We had a rich dialogue about the utility of accreditation;
- We honored our 2009 AILACTE Scholar recipient, Azure D. Smiley
of UIndy;
- We heard from Dr. Sharon Robinson, President and CEO of AACTE,
about the urgency of accreditation;
- We applauded our newly-elected President-Elect, Jill Lederhouse;
and
- We thanked Jackie McDowell for her continued services as
our Publication Editor.
- We handed out the AILACTE
conference strands for Atlanta in 2010.
We have ambitious plans for 2009-2010. We want to design a Southern
Regional Conference for 2010. This year we will send two newsletters
plus the journal to each of our members. We really want to amplify
services to the membership. I asked that each of you try to encourage
other sister institutions to join the AILACTE family. AILACTE
is indeed the place to discuss common successes and concerns about
the importance of liberal arts and teacher education.
Best Regards,
Dr. Dwight C. Watson,
Associate Dean of Teacher Education Programs
University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire |
