We have published our brochure for Teachers Week 2010. You can download a copy below. Online registration will be added soon.

More information is posted to Teachers Week.

Teachers Week has begun! We welcomed about 250 teachers for these four days of preparation for the fall term.

Teachers Week online and phone registration are disabled because the event is full. Thank you for your interest in Teachers Week!

The Teachers Week brochure is now available! You can also register for Teachers Week via our website. This annual event for teachers features in-depth topics, practical work sessions, targeted workshops, and networking with growing and experienced teachers.

NEW: Schools can register multiple teachers on the same registration form.

UPDATED: Teachers Week information

The brochure for Teachers Week 2008 is now available! It includes schedule and fee information as well as a registration form.

We will not be mailing the brochure to our entire mailing list. We plan to mail copies to each school that sent teachers to Teachers Week in 2006 or 2007, as well as each attendee for those events in 2006 or 2007. If you did not attend in previous years but would like a copy, you may download a copy below or email or call our office to receive a copy. We’ve also posted detailed schedule and workshop information on the Teachers Week page. Please note that lodging onsite at Faith Builders is very limited. Contact information for local motels is included.

You can download the brochure here (PDF, 281 KB).

We hope to see you here in August!

If you would like to register for Teachers Week 2008, online registration is now available! Each person must complete a separate registration. Married couples may register together. Registration fees may be combined for easier payment.

We will continue to post additional information about Teachers Week as speakers and topics are confirmed by the committee.

The FB newsletter is on its way to the printer!  Some of the items included in Issue 85 are as follows:

• “The New Conservatives” by Melvin B. Lehman
• Teacher Retreat
• Technology Colloquy
• Winter Term Info

Many attendees greatly enjoyed the sessions during Teachers Week this year, held July 31-August 3.  Some of the sessions were recorded, and you have the opportunity to enjoy these sessions on audiocassette or CD.

Melvin Lehman spoke in a general session each morning on the theme of “The Teacher’s Influence in the Community.”  His four sessions were titled:

• Defining and Finding Your Niche
• A Vision for the Classroom
• Building Community Relationships
• Contributing to Community Culture

In addition, four other sessions were recorded:

• Introduction to Learning Disabilities (Pauline Seibel)
• Diet and Alertness: Is There a Connection? (Pauline Seibel)
• Exercises to Develop Brain Function and Memory (Pauline Seibel)
• Preparing for the First Days of School (Howard Bean) 

These sessions are available on cassette or CD for $5.00 each, plus shipping.  PA residents will also pay 6% state sales tax.

We appreciate the strong interest in Teachers Week 2007.  The week-long event is limited to 175 teachers by facility accommodations.  We have now registered 175 teachers for Teachers Week. 

We will continue to accept new registrations, but all registrants beyond this point will be placed on a waiting list.  As cancellations occur, we will notify those on the waiting list in the order they were received.  If you apply but you are not admitted to the event, your registration fee will be refunded.  If you have already registered but decide not to attend, your registration fee will not be refunded.

Again, additional registrations for Teachers Week will be processed, but the event is full at this point.
