Great Opportunity for a GAAP Exchange in Hamburg

Dear Colleagues,
due to changes at St. Paul Academy and Summit School, we will discontinue the
GAPP exchange with the Heisenberg Gymnasium in Hamburg.
The Heisenberg Gymnasium is a fantastic public High School in Hamburg-Harburg,
itself a little town with Rathaus, Karstadt, Markt plus quick S-Bahn access to downtown
Hamburg, the Alster and the harbor. The Heisenberg faculty is extremely welcoming
and the parents  and students most dedicated to the exchange.
We have run the exchange on a two-year cycle, but it could take place every year.
If you are at all interested or would like further information,
 please contact me at jcrowder@spa.edu; 651 69601466 .
Vielen Dank und einen schönen Sommer !

Great Opportunities to Present a Talk -- Deadline April 15, 2014 -- Get Involved in State Activities!

Thank you, Anita Ratwik, for the following:

Central States Conference (on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) i.e. CSCTFL, will be in Minneapolis March 12- 14, 2015. 
It is co-sponsored by MCTLC. CSC is one of the five regional organizations of ACTFL. CSC's web address is www.CSCTFL.org 

We especially want to have sessions for German teachers and to have good attendance by world language teachers in Minnesota. This conference includes 17 states, and we expect close to 1000 participants. All right in our own backyard!

Please consider presenting a session. The website for proposals is http://www.web-reg.com/csc-prop/
The deadline for submission is April 15, 2014.  You can even do one presentation at the MCTLC conference in October 2014 and use the same one for CSC 2015 the following March!

This conference will also require many volunteers from Minnesota. I will send out information as that time comes closer. Please consider volunteering. It is one of the best ways to get to know other language teachers and networking. Participants and presenters to CSC come from all 17 CSC members states, plus many additional states.

This year's CSC conference is in St Louis, MO, March 20-22, 2014. In preparation for CSC 2015, we are responsible for an exhibit booth at this year's conference. We need volunteers to help staff that booth. If any of you will be at CSC 2014 in St Louis, please consider helping staff that booth for a couple of hours. No need to bring anything, but a smile and energy to talk with perspective attendees who might also want information about Minneapolis and Minnesota.

If you are willing, please contact Anita Ratwik, at ratwi001@umn.edu 

Lots to think about, many opportunities.
Thank you.

University Study in Germany -- Webinar -- March12 at 5 pm.

AATG Logo Blue

Studying in Germany - An Alternative to American Colleges
Dear Mark,
Interested in learning about all of the recent changes at German universities? Are your students interested in studying in Germany? Register now for our webinar scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at 6:00 pm (EDT), 5:00 pm (CDT), 4:00 pm (MDT), 3:00 pm (PDT).
       
As tuition costs at American colleges continue to rise, some look with envy to the excellent and (almost) free public university system in Germany. Studying there is a real option for any American high school graduate, provided certain qualifications are met. This webinar explores the current higher education system in Germany (with a focus on Baden-Württemberg), what the requirements are, where to apply, what it costs and how teachers can use this knowledge to attract students to their German programs.

Register for this Webinar

Presenter: Emily Westhoven, a German native living in Boston for over 15 years, is a representative for Baden-Württemberg International. She is also the chair of the school committee of the German Saturday School Boston and plans to send her three American born children to university in Germany. Emily earned her masters of marketing communications at the Universität der Künste in Berlin.

Not available for the live webinar? You can order it on demand starting Thursday, March 13.
We hope you'll be there! Plan on joining us for other Webinars this Spring. See what's coming up and what's available on demand.
