For New Teachers Attention All Foreign Language Teachers, Mentors, Department Chairs, & Lead Teachers! As we all know, recruiting and retaining teachers is a top priority for all of us. To address this critical need, FLANC will be offering scholarships to first year teachers to attend the 2010 FLANC Conference. Registration, which includes all Friday and Saturday sessions and a one year membership to FLANC is reduced to $60 for New Teachers! (BTs/ILTs). Click here for the ILT form. We will also award 10 scholarships to teachers for whom 2010-2011 is their first year of teaching Foreign Language. This will include not only their dues and registration to the conference, but also 2 free pre-conference workshops. Please have them fill out the scholarship application and register for the conference. This is a wonderful opportunity for new teachers to become involved in FLANC, make contacts with teachers from across the state, and learn a great deal to help them as they begin their career. Since 1st year teachers are not yet members of FLANC and therefore do not receive the Catalyst, they have no way of knowing about the scholarship unless you tell them!!! Tell your new colleagues about FLANC and this wonderful opportunity to attend the entire conference at a reduced price or, for 10 lucky winners, FREE! For more information, contact Bethanie Carlson, Professional Needs

FLANC will make every effort to accommodate the special needs of all conference participants. Anyone requiring specially equipped rooms, or any other kind of individual assistance, is requested to advise FLANC and the hotel of these needs. Please attach a letter to your conference registration form and to the hotel registration form. These must arrive by August 30, 2010. Please include a telephone number or an email address where you can be contacted. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming at FLANC.
