Taft Educational Center
Thank you for a great Summer 2008 program. Our 2009 workshop schedule should be up and running in mid-January
June 29, 2008 – August 1, 2008
The Taft Educational Center has been providing outstanding workshops for public and independent school teachers and administrators since 1976. Over the years of the Center's operation, we have worked with teachers from all fifty states and more than fifty countries. Our first-class facilities, and our teaching staff of master teachers from high schools and colleges, have produced highly successful programs in an educationally exciting environment. This summer five separate week-long sessions will run from June 29 to August 1. Teachers, department heads, Advanced Placement coordinators, curriculum developers, and heads of schools should request and budget funds for summer work as soon as possible.
Registration
To register for any of the workshops, send the registration form with full tuition payment for each workshop payable to Taft Educational Center. Visa, Master Card or Purchase Orders are accepted. Registration by June 1 is required! Registration and full tuition payment will be accepted in the order they are received. Enrollment and dorm space are limited; please register early to avoid disappointment. You will be notified by e-mail when your registration is received. Information on registration hours, transportation, and directions to Taft will be mailed to your home address after your workshop is confirmed. Please do not purchase nonrefundable airline tickets until your workshop is confirmed.
Tuition and Other Charges
Tuition, which includes accommodations and meals at Taft, is $1050 per week for boarding participants; for commuting participants, $800 per week (including lunches only). There is no extra charge for accommodations for boarding participants who remain at Taft during the weekend between workshops. We cannot provide accommodations for non-participants. Please call for information on our overseas programs.
Cancellation Policy
Workshop participants who have registered by June 1, 2008 may receive a full tuition refund if they make a request in writing before June 1, 2008. All cancellations received on or after June 1, 2008 will be subject to a $200 cancellation fee. If a cancellation request is made on or after June 1, 2008, Taft Educational Center will accept a replacement participant from the same school. "No-shows" will be responsible for full tuition fee payment. Participants in workshops that are cancelled by TEC for any reason receive full refunds.
Graduate Credits and Grades
The Taft Educational Center is pleased to continue our association with the University of Hartford as our graduate credit-granting authority. Each week at TEC will be granted three graduate credits by the university. Each participant will receive a grade for a completed workshop, but graduate credit is optional for an additional fee. The University of Hartford has set this fee at $100 per graduate credit for 2008.
Continuing Education Units
The Taft Educational Center is approved as a provider of Continuing Education Units by the Connecticut State Department of Education. For each week of successful academic work, the Center will grant 3.0 Connecticut CEUs. A number of other state Departments of Education will accept Connecticut CEUs for accreditation purposes.
