The Tucson Institute of Professional Educators is pleased to be involved with the launching of the Tucson English Teachers’ Center. One of the Institute’s objectives is to encourage and facilitate, such as the sharing of good practice or bringing high quality materials and resources to the attention of colleagues. We have uncovered a general desire amongst Tucson teachers for professional development opportunities, coupled with a concern at the costs and time required to pursue further education such as that offered through university programs.

The Institute already offers a number of workshops of particular interest to English / Language Arts teachers. One of the feedback items we have received is a desire for something more ongoing and continuous and, as a result, we are excited to be involved with the Tucson English Teachers’ Center. The center provides :

• a regular meeting place for English / Language Arts teachers, both programmed and non-programmed events
• weekly round table discussions, generally on matters relating directly to classroom practice
• seminars and workshops on topics of special interest to English / Language Arts teachers
• resources and materials specific to the needs of English / Language Arts teachers in Tucson, Arizona If you would like to be placed on the Tucson English Teachers' Center mailing list, please contact us.
