Following the opening session there will be two concurrent sessions that will continue into the afternoon. At one session students will share and review their papers and their plans for the spring. Another session in the morning and in the afternoon will be devoted to layout and design. The workshop will close with a review of plans for the spring conference and of the project documentation process.
Cost for travel (two cars), lunch, and substitutes will be paid by PACERS. Teachers attending will receive a stipend. It is essential for each school to have a community member attend the meeting. Schools interested in participating in the project should contact Jack Shelton (admin@pacersinc.org) for details and for possible support for travel.
