ATPE News, Summer 2008

 

Cool Classrooms
We invited ourselves into your classrooms, and you were more than happy to show us around. More than 100 ATPE members responded to our call for images of “cool classrooms,” and you delivered with photos of educational environments that are as much works of heart as they are works of art. Visit ATPE’s Picasa™ photo-sharing site to view more “cool classrooms.”

Sustaining ATPE’s future
Nearly 1,000 ATPE members gathered March 27–29 in Austin for the 29th Annual ATPE State Convention, where they made important decisions that will strengthen the association in the near future and for years to come.
