OVEC Events Calendar

OVEC keeps a calendar of all upcoming events. Take a look at OVEC's Events Calendar to see what is new and coming up, from professional development to meetings and fairs.

OVEC Networks Teacher Leader Showcase - July 10, 2012

The July 10, 2012 event will showcase the OVEC/Jefferson/KSB teachers work in the content networks. In addition we have added the work of our social studies or TAH Grant teachers. Please support your teacher leaders in this showcase. The cost cannot be beat…it is FREE!!

There will be hourly sessions and our guests will make selections as to topics and sessions of interests. Embedded into the work of the teacher leader showcase will also be the suggestions on how administrators can support the work. Denise Amos and Seth Hunter will also be providing a session.

Although it is social studies, math and English/Language Arts as the content areas, it is obvious to most that the work will also benefit other content areas, so our science teachers are also welcome to attend!

The main reasons for the registration deadline, since it is FREE, is to make sure we have enough food prepared by the FFA student group and also so our sessions are not overloaded.

We are hopeful that this will become an annual event and encourage your support of our great teacher leaders. Thanks so much and if you have questions, please contact Shannon Treece or Tina Tipton. For more information, you can download Flyer the flyer. Please contact Sandy Elmore to register.
