Educators sought for externships


The Delaware Business, Industry, Education Alliance, in partnership with the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and the Delaware Department of Education, are coordinating a Teacher Externship Program for Delaware educators for summer 2010.

Educators will be placed inside the business community to gain knowledge about the academic skills students need for tomorrow’s workforce. Businesses statewide will host educators for 18 hours the week of June 21.

Open to all Delaware certified educators, the three-day program awards 25 professional development hours toward renewal of a continuing education license. Interested educators should contact Lori Aldrich at 836-4591 or laldrich@bie.k12.de.us, and visit www.bie.k12.de.us (click on externship) for complete registration information.
