From: NCELA

The Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA), U. S. Department of
Education, will hold its second annual Celebrate Our Rising Stars
Summit, Tuesday-Thursday December 2-4, 2003, at the Hilton Washington
and Towers Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The theme of this year's Summit is "Success in School: Everyone's
Responsibility, Every Child's Right". Sessions will focus on the
critical issues that face all communities as they embrace the challenge to include all students-- especially English Language Learners--in their high quality education efforts to implement No Child Left Behind. Sessions are planned for teachers and other practitioners, state directors, assessment teams, researchers, administrators, and parents of English language learners.

A block of rooms has been set aside at the Hilton Washington for Summit attendees. Rooms will be charged at the prevailing government rate at the time the reservation is made. Through October 1, 2003, those rates are set at $150 single, $170 double, and $20 per additional person for standard rooms. The rates are exclusive of appropriate state and local taxes, currently 14.5%. One night's deposit will be required at the time your reservation is made.
