Education Dialogue
Tentative date: May 22, 2009
Scheduled time: 3 hours, TBA
Deadline for proposal submissions has passed.
The Education Dialogue was formally launched in 2000. Its
mission is to foster open dialogue about the state of metals
education today as well as the needs and issues for the
future.
For the first few years, the session was held on Wednesday,
before the SNAG conference opened. By motion at the 2003
conference, and starting with the 2005 conference, the
Education Dialogue session then took place during the
conference.
Courtney Starrett, Donna Sweigart and Rebecca Strzelec, the
three coordinators of both the 2007 and 2008 Education Dialogue
sessions, convinced the board the directors that the Education
Dialogue should become more of an official program of SNAG and
the annual conferences. Following a meeting in Savannah,
together we have created and implemented a policy document
which will now guide the Education Dialogue and a newly formed
Education Dialogue Committee. This document also
articulates the respective responsibilities of SNAG, the board
liaison appointed to oversee the Education Dialogue, and the
educators coordinating the sessions each year.
