Educators and education students in northeast Georgia are invited to attend a one-day conference Saturday, March 12, at Piedmont College in Athens that will focus on timely issues and trends in education.
The Piedmont Educator Renewal Conference (PERC) is titled “Sparking Adventures in Teaching: Learning, and Leading,” and will allow educators to share information on innovative as well as effective practices and recent research in education, said Dr. Don Gnecco, Dean of the Piedmont College School of Education.
“This is our fourth annual PERC event, and it has proven to be a good way for educators in the area to exchange information about best practices,” Gnecco said. Sessions will be conducted by Piedmont faculty and recent graduates from the college’s master’s, specialist, and doctoral programs.
The cost of the conference is $40 for teachers and $10 for students. Education students can use attendance at the conference as field experience. Conference registration includes lunch and snacks. Conference registration begins at 8 a.m. The day will conclude at approximately 3:30 p.m. For more information, including how to register, contact Dr. Donna Andrews at [email protected] or visit www.piedmont.edu/perc.
Founded in 1897, Piedmont College offers bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degree programs at its Demorest residential campus in the foothills of the northeast Georgia mountains and at its Athens campus in the heart of Georgia’s Classic City.
