Partnerships in Education Conference

Dear Educators,

This year’s conference will be taking place October 1st &  22nd on the campuses of Lewiston High School and Lewis-Clark State College.  We believe the PTE offerings that we’ve put together this year will accommodate almost all professional-technical program areas in some fashion.  This year we are focusing our sessions on Web Development, Pre-Engineering/ Manufacturing, Geographic Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems, Applied Mathematics, and Educational Enrichment courses to benefit all educators.  Not only does PIE have sessions related to PTE but also a myriad of others that can be found in their program booklet at http://www.lewistonpie.com/PIE BookletInside_08.pdf.  

This conference is one of the largest, if not the largest, of it’s kind in Idaho and Eastern Washington.  The large annual attendance provides wonderful opportunities to bring nationally recognized keynoters that a single district might not otherwise be able to do.  We hope you will all come and enjoy this year’s keynote speakers as well as gain valuable competencies that you can take back to the classroom.   

For more information on the PIE conference please go to: http://www.lewistonpie.com/

Here are this year’s professional-technical workshop offerings at Lewiston High School’s Partnerships in Education (PIE) Conference.  For more about registration or general information about this year’s conference please go to www.lewistonpie.com or contact Tate Smith at ttsmith@lcsc.edu or (208) 792-2418.
