VATE Conference 2009
The Virginia Association of Teachers of English welcomes you to our
95th Anniversary
40th Annual Conference Year
October 30-November 1, 2009
Woodland Hotels and Suites
Williamsburg, Virginia
(757) 253-2277
Each of our students is incubating a story which, when woven with other narratives, chronicles our collective human experience. Just as each patch on a quilt is essential and unique, so too are the voices of our students. How do you nurture and honor the wordsmiths, dancers, musicians, techies, actors, and artists in your classes?
How does your curriculum reflect the multiple modes of storytelling that our learners possess? What ways do you utilize text, dance, music, technology, drama, and art to engage your students? How do you allow your students to use their multiple intelligences to enhance and transform the meaning of a text? What opportunities are your students given to tap into multiple literacies to create and communicate their own ideas?
VATE invites you to share your threads of creativity and ingenuity that weave together the individual stories of your students’ lives.
