FETC 2008 Ticketed Workshops for Professional Development

FETC, Inc. is pleased to offer over 70 workshops at FETC 2008. These information-packed workshops offer participants a chance to learn new skills and strategies, create new materials, and explore topics in more depth than time allows in a conference breakout session. The workshops also help participants meet the demands of state and national standards for technology skills and curriculum. They are available in hands-on and lecture formats, and are all conveniently held in the Orange County Convention Center.

Ticketed Workshop Codes

The following is the key for understanding the workshop codes. The first letter of the code indicates the day: T = Tuesday, W = Wednesday, H = Thursday, F = Friday. The second letter indicates the time: A = morning, P = afternoon, L = Evening, F = full day. For example, a workshop code beginning WA means the workshop takes place Wednesday morning.

Inservice Master Plan Points

Inservice Master Plan Points for renewal of the Florida Teaching Certificate are granted by the teacher's individual school district. In many cases, workshops taken by teachers at FETC may be eligible for credit. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion for each ticketed workshop outlining the objectives, skills, concepts, and other relevant information that would help facilitate Master Plan Point credit.
