Dear VASPA Members,

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR EDUCATION WEEK TEACHER RECRUITER SUBSCRIBERS

Live Web Chat Today: Finding and Keeping Qualified Teachers--The HR Perspective

Join us on Thursday, April 22, 2004, from 3:00-4:00 p.m., ET, for a live Web chat on new strategies in teacher recruitment. Our special guests for the discussion will be Chuck White, president of the American Association of School Personnel Administrators, and Elizabeth Arons, chief executive officer for human resources, New York City schools.

As schools strive to meet the standards for "highly qualified" teachers under the No Child Left Behind Act, administrators and human resources directors around the country are putting together new ideas and innovations to recruit teachers in a highly competitive environment. Our guests will take questions and offer input on the latest trends. They will also discuss strategies for making sure their existing teacher workforce is getting the training and professional development needed to meet the "highly qualified" requirements.

Please join us for this timely discussion. (No login information or special equipment--other than Web access--is needed.) http://www.edweek-chat.org/

We are now accepting advance questions.
