DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION:
CALENDAR
OF DEPARTMENT-SPONSORED EVENTS
(Updated 2/2/10)
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
