TitleCall for Presenters: Trainers in Foreign Language and Mandarin Chinese
Body
From http://www.ed.gov/teachers/how/tools/initiative/foreign-language.html

Last fall, the U.S. Department of Education announced the formation of the Teacher-to-Teacher Training Corps. The corps consists of effective teachers and practitioners who provide on-site technical assistance and regional workshops for teachers and school districts. This team is an expansion of the popular Teacher-to-Teacher Workshops that have been offered in cities across the nation for the past two summers.

The Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative is interested in expanding the number of foreign language trainers in the corps, particularly in critical languages. We are looking for teachers and school leaders who use scientifically based research strategies and who have data to demonstrate effectiveness. Topics could include areas of high interest to all foreign language educators including classroom technology, student oral and written proficiency, language instruction across the curriculum and standards-based instruction, as well as topics that specifically address teaching students of Mandarin. Mandarin Chinese will be the featured language for this summer's workshops.

Deadline: March 17, 2006
