Description: The Alabama State Department of Education (SDE) requires local education agency (LEA) personnel to evaluate teachers per the Alabama Administrative Code. EDUCATEAlabama (EA) is the SDE’s formative teacher evaluation process that replaces the Professional Education Personnel Evaluation Program (PEPE) for teachers. EDUCATEAlabama is based on the Alabama Quality Teaching Standards and the Alabama Continuum for Teacher Development. In July 2010, 1,007 educators responded to the EDUCATEAlabama Survey 2010, making specific recommendations for refining the EDUCATEAlabama implemented in 2009-2010. Based on survey results a work group of active LEA practitioners refined the EA process. During this workshop, LEA personnel responsible for evaluating teachers will receive information on implementation of the refined EDUCATEAlabama process for 2010-2011.

Under in North Alabama - Caves
Join spelunking experts on an exciting adventure exploring caves and learn about the biodiversity of North Alabama's karst topography. Find out how caves are formed and what creates the beautiful cave formations. During our cave explorations we will see endangered aquatic cave life and bats. One exciting part of the workshop will be a visit to an Alabama State Park, Cathedral Caverns, where we will see the world's largest cave opening, the world's largest stalagmite and the world's largest frozen waterfall. We will also investigate a few of the wild caves in northeast Alabama.
Through classroom and field studies, we will explore content knowledge, teaching techniques, and classroom activities to help your students learn about the wonders of caves.
