Welcome to DARTEP! (Directors and Representatives of Teacher Education Programs in Michigan) For many years, Deans, Directors of
Teacher Education, Directors of Student Teaching, Certification
Officers, Michigan Department of Education officials and others
who have a keen interest in the preparation of Michigan K-12 teachers
have met to discuss the pertinent issues of the day. This organization
has been a sounding board as well as a forum for careful analysis
of best practice in the preparation of teachers. Although at times
there may be disagreement over controversial issues, the tone of
debate has always been cordial. As such, this organization serves
as a kind of fraternity/sorority of like-minded professionals who
value highly their association with one another. With the ever
increasing complexity of the certification process, it is reassuring
to know that DARTEP continues to serve as a forum where accurate
information can be disseminated. |

Teleconferencing information: For those of you who are unable to physically attend the DARTEP meeting this Friday, you can use a web application called WIMBA, use of which is graciously donated by Dave Myton of Lake Superior State University. You should plan to connect at least 15 minutes ahead of schedule, so that a WIMBA software wizard can make sure that your computer has what is needed to make the connection. During job-alike sessions, the connection will be taken to the Certification Officers meeting. During lunch, WIMBA will be active but not monitored, The connection will be with the Certification Officers' meeting in the afternoon. To participate, go to http://67.202.210.200,
click participant login and enter your name as it will show to the
other participants. Run the Wizard if necessary and then you will
enter the Lobby. From the list of all sessions select "DARTEP
Meeting". A tutorial showing how to use the WIMBA tools is available
here: http://www.lssu.edu/podcast/audiofiles/education/chem104/Dartep-participant.mp4. Dave prepared two .SWF tutorial files one for the
presenter controls, and another for the participant. They are both
posted to: Once we activate the presenter login (which we will do at about 9:00 am) you can make a web connection. That will give us time to trouble shoot connections if necessary. If you need help, email Reuben Rubio on-site for assistance. Hopefully, these instructions are clear and we look forward to "seeing" and "hearing" from you on Friday. |
