Next year's Winter Conference
The Sixth Annual RIMLE Winter Conference will be held on January 31, 2009, at Archie Cole Middle School on 100 Cedar Avenue in East Greenwich. This annual Saturday event will feature both a leadership strand and a practical applications strand that will highlight Rhode Island practitioners. Past conference attendees have provided rave reviews of the sessions and the format of the conference day. We look forward to seeing you at the conference. Registration materials will be sent to the schools at the beginning of the new school year.
Looking to Spring and Summer
RIMLE officers and office staff continue to support the work of the RIMLE Board in its advocacy for our middle level students and educators. The revisions to the secondary regulations are nearing completion and will be posted once the final vote has been taken for the Rhode Island Board of Regents. In addition to the Winter Update is posted on the website, a spring newsletter has been mailed to the schools. This spring edition will be posted on the website. The new Advisory Course on developing a curriculum for the program taught by Dr. John Niska beginning June 24th, and carrying three Rhode Island College graduate credits is nearly full. Call the RIMLE office at 401-222-8938 or by e-mail at rimle2@ride.ri.net to check on the status of space availability. The RIMLE/NELMS Summer Teaming Institute is scheduled for August 12 and 13 at Tiverton Middle School. Check our Professional Development section for more information. Again, RIMLE seeks to advocate for our middle level educators by supporting instruction and leadership that serves the ten to fourteen year old.
