GRADUATE ONE-CREDIT THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT DENVER AVAILABLE TO CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS

Once again CoTESOL conference attendees have the opportunity to register for one graduate credit-hour through UC-Denver’s School of Education & Human Development. The credit can be applied towards recertification or other credentials or programs, depending on the individual attendee’s specific district/program requirements (e.g., for Highly Qualified Teacher). Attendance both days of the conference earns the one credit, which appears on a UCD transcript as LLC 5835: Special Topics: CoTESOL, Welcoming the World. A one-page registration form and tuition payment of $50 can be filled out and dropped off right at the conference. Look for the UCD sign at the registration desk on Friday morning, October 24, 2008. An assistant will help you with your questions and steps, and provide you with any forms you may need. Questions? You may contact Hilary.Bruce@cudenver.edu or call 303-315-4986.
