13th CONGRESS
OF THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF PRODUCTIVE SCHOOLS (INEPS)
The New York City Board of Education's
Office of Alternative, Adult and Continuing Education and The
National Academy of Alternative Education (NAAE), in collaboration
with The International Network of Alternative and Productive
Schools (INEPS), are pleased to invite all interested educators,
government officials and business leaders to:
The 13th Annual International
Conference of Alternative
and Productive Schools
Providing Diverse
Educational Alternatives
In A Multicultural Community
New York City
May 3-10, 2001
The conference is designed to give educators
and other civic leaders an opportunity to study successful models
created for a diverse educational population. Many of these programs
were designed, based on the theories of Productive Learning,
for students not succeeding in the existing public school programs.
These students represent a diverse cultural, ethnic and economic
cross-section of youth in our cities.
Educational leaders from New York City
Board of Education Schools and Programs, as well as representatives
from the 50 different International Network schools and programs
in 18 different countries throughout Europe, will be available
to share their experiences in building, maintaining and expanding
services in these specifically created schools and programs.
Through a variety of interactions, presentations,
site based school study visits, seminars and social gatherings,
participants will have ample opportunity to explore individual
schooling models. Various sites, including The United Nations,
Fordham University and New York City Board of Education public
schools and offices, will be available to give conference participants
access to alternative and innovative university based leadership
and teacher training programs. Workshops will include; enhanced
uses for communications technologies and long distance learning;
school to school collaborations; exchanges; and sharing of the
latest research and program development in serving the needs
of alternative students.
