CALL FOR PRESENTERS

The Pennsylvania School-Age Child Care Alliance (PENN SACCA) invites you to submit a workshop proposal for its annual statewide school-age conference scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 14th and 15th, 2014 at Holiday Inn at Grantville (Hershey). Our theme is “Out-of-School-Time—STEM Building Skills for the Future.”

Our mission is to guide, champion, and represent out-of-school-time professionals. One of our values is that out-of-school-time professional development matters. We welcome proposals revolving around the following categories:

• Math
• Technology
• Engineering
• Career Planning
• Badging

Workshops will be 3 hours on Friday (focus on directors) and 2 hours on Saturday (focus on teaching staff).
PENN SACCA is offering an honorarium of $150 per workshop. The honorarium may be returned to PENN SACCA in the form of a donation if the presenter so chooses. In addition, a complimentary conference registration on the day of presentation for up to two presenters per workshop is provided. This registration includes breakfast, lunch, and the option to attend workshops during the time frames when you are not presenting. If desired, conference registration for attending the second day will be offered at a reduced rate (2 maximum). PENN SACCA will reimburse for the cost of transportation (@ 50 cents per mile) and the cost of handouts (with valid receipt).

All workshops must be relevant to the school-age out-of-school-time population. Proposals may be completed online or emailed to us by June 15, 2014. If you have questions, please feel free to call Shasta Wagner, PENN SACCA Conference Chair at 814-472-6341 ext. 15 or email her at: shastawagner@live.com.
