Professional Development Seminars Now Being Held
For eight years, Charles K. Rogers,
Special Assistant to the President, has been offering Professional
Development Seminars for high school, middle, and junior high school
teachers. To date, over 850 teachers representing 190 schools have
participated in these seminars.
This seminar format began in 1993 when
NEIT offered a CAD class to 12 high school teachers. The interest
was so great that seminar offerings were expanded to the extent that
today 8 - 12 seminars are offered three times per year.
Many different seminars have been offered
to teachers over the past 8 years, ranging from Microsoft Office to
Interior Design. But one in particular seems to have been met with
the most enthusiasm. This popular new seminar is entitled "Introduction
to Collectable Vehicle Purchasing and Restoration" offered by
NEIT's Auto Body Technology Department.
The participants in this seminar studied
various criteria and topics that determine if a vehicle is collectable
or not. The teachers then had the opportunity to inspect and evaluate
an actual vehicle slated for restoration at New England Tech. The
last few classes were devoted to actually dismantling and reassembling
a 1966 Mustang.
All seminars are offered free of charge,
unless a textbook or lab fee is required.
The next round of Professional Development
Seminars will begin on April, 10, 2001 and conclude on May 29, 2001
with seminar meeting times between 2:55 pm and 5:45 pm. Please contact
