ATE's 2009 Summer Conference in Reno was a great success. The opening General Session speaker, Vito de la Cruz, presented a moving talk. A public defender from Reno, de la Cruz is Yaqui and Chicano. Raised in a migrant farm worker family in poverty, he went on to Yale and UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law. Click here for his Power Point slide presentation (note: this is a large file and may take a few minutes to download). Special note: Thanks to the work of ATE photographer David McCarthy, a gallery of photos from the Summer Conference is available. Click here to go to the gallery.
PDS Website: ATE’s Board of Directors is sponsoring the Professional Development Schools Impact Profile website, and ATE members can have access to this website. It was developed under a Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and after the grant money ran out ATE’s Board agreed to step forward and enable the website to continue. The PDS Impact Profile provides a comprehensive, easily accessible, and practice-informed resource through which institutions can contribute to and learn from each other's experiences within the highly contextualized and complex work of PDS. The site is located at the following link: http://pds.gsw.edu/.
