DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION:
CALENDAR OF DEPARTMENT-SPONSORED EVENTS
(Updated 11/19/09)

           

This calendar notes only those events sponsored by the department. An event is considered department-sponsored if it is planned and run solely by the department or if the department plays a significant role in coordinating the event programmatically or financially with a partner organization. At this time, events must be submitted by department staff.

The department's calendar of events is designed to be used as a planning tool by department staff, State Board members and educators in the field. The calendar lists department-sponsored events, which, unless noted otherwise, are intended to benefit service providers, educators and administrators.

This page will be updated as items are received. View events for the upcoming six month period:
