AATE-ALEA National Conference Scholarships for VATE members

VATE is offering two scholarships to the 2008 AATE-ALEA National  
Conference in Adelaide, 6-9 July. The National Conference is a great  
opportunity for VATE members to join a national conversation about  
English and literacy teaching in Australia and a chance to check out  
what teachers from around Australia are doing in their classrooms.  
More details about the conference are available on the website:  
http://www.englishliteracyconference.com.au/

Each scholarship can be used to pay conference registration, airfares  
and accommodation up to $1500. Scholarship winners are asked to  
provide a report on the Conference for the VATE Newsletter, VATE’s  
journal IDIOM, or for the VATE website. One scholarship is reserved  
for an early career teacher (<5 years). Current members of VATE  
Council and Committees are ineligible, but all other VATE members are  
encouraged to apply. To apply address the selection criteria below:

A successful applicant will:
Be a current individual member of VATE
Indicate why they believe they are a strong candidate for a  
scholarship and how participation in the conference will benefit  
their professional learning
Outline some activities they are willing to undertake to share the  
experience with colleagues within and outside of their school (eg a  
school PD session, at the VATE Conference)
On return from the conference prepare a response/report for  
publication in the VATE Newsletter, IDIOM or the VATE website
Applications should be kept brief and be no longer than two sides of  
one page. The closing date for applications is 30 March 2008.
