About the CATESOL 2015 Northern Regional Conference
Welcome to the 2015 CATESOL Northern California Regional Conference website. The theme for the conference “Promoting a Common Core for Academic Success” relates to a “common core” in several ways. One way, of course, is the Common Core State Standards that are familiar to all K-12 teachers and the driving force behind the school curriculum. Another is a common core of best practices that engender student learning and success not only for the K-12 school system but for success in higher education as well. Yet another is that although the standards directly affect students, they also affect the parents who deal with the daily realities of the curriculum in the way of homework. These parents also need support in order to help their children be successful. We hope to touch on all of these areas during the course of our conference in an effort to help you in all them. The conference committee hopes that your day spent attending conference workshops and presentations will be fruitful in your search for new ideas and insights and in networking with new and old friends. We also hope you enjoy the Continental breakfast and Mexican buffet lunch. If you are not a current member of CATESOL, consider joining and getting involved in the CATESOL family. We would love to have you as a member. Best wishes for an enlightening conference. Sincerely, Barbara Ishida Conference Chairperson |
