Tucker Signing Strategies for Reading Workshop: Back by popular demand, the Institute's Center on Education and Lifelong Learning in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Education is sponsoring a one-day train-the-trainers workshop on February 21, 2002 at the Valle Vista Golf Club and Conference Center, Greenwood, Indiana, for educators or other professionals who have successfully implemented the Tucker Signing Strategies for Reading training in their classroom or work environments.

Bethanie H. Tucker will address frequently asked questions and provide a more extensive understanding of, and use, of the strategies. Supplemental training materials will be provided. Participants must, however, bring their own copy of the Tucker Signing Strategies for Reading training manual received at the original training held in November.

Registration fees are $280.00 per person, which includes a continental breakfast and lunch. Registration is limited to 100 attendees, and the registration deadline is February 7, 2002.
