Pre-Service Teacher Annual National Conference, February 14-16, 2008, Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Alexandria, VA

On behalf of the Pre-Service Teacher Conference Committee, thank you for making our 12th Annual Conference a memorable experience. We hosted over 500 people on opening night, which included over 350 students and faculty registered from over 50 institutions. We offered more than 60 workshops and had approximately 30 Career Fair participants. Our five outstanding guest speakers represented diverse backgrounds and careers, provided inspirational messages, and re-affirmed the importance of the education profession.

For 2007-2008, NASA's partners are the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), which serves as NASA's administrator for the Pre-Service Teacher Program, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. NASA and its partners are unequivocally committed to and united in efforts to improve and provide our pre-service teachers with far-ranging skills and opportunities that will enhance their competence and confidence in teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

We are delighted to announce that the 13th Annual National Conference is shaping up to be another spectacular event. Our new motto is Shaping the Future: Launching New Endeavors to Inspire the Next Generation of Explorers. The conference is tentatively scheduled for February 14-16, 2008 at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Alexandria, VA.
