Some of the strands are l-oooo-nnn-ggg to attend for 5 days. They're good, but here, on day 3, I'm ready to mix it up. Has CLTA ever done a 2 strand conference?? Days 1-2 and 3-5?
Just an idea.

Tanya-would you be willing (maybe aling with a few other jokesters )to do a stand -up improv cimedy night fundraiser in an actual comedy club. The establishment or TV station could donate the ticket fees to CLTA ? Our teachers could contribute materisl for the skit!

Like Liz, I have never expected to get compensation from CLTA for doing what I do as a member or a presenter. Why do I need to be compensated for doing something for my professional organization, which has done so very much for me, helping me, supporting me to be successful in the classroom with my students? I do not think my 45$ a year is a big expense, when I consider how much I have gained over the years. Become a member, and make a difference for your students!

(I feel this is different from presenting at a workshop and I don't feel it's wrong for a person (or two) in charge of this to be compensated in this way. This can be a huge task that is not limited to a weekend of preparation.)

As a board member, I can assure you: we advocate for language education at all schools and our resources are for all schools. In Sacramento, legislation is geared towards public school, so it is true that we aren't often called upon to advocate at the legislative level for private schools precisely because they don't receive state funding. However, we advocate, as Lorraine said, for long sequences of well-articulated language and cultural education for all of California children no matter what school they attend. Even when we testify on legislation affecting state funding, we talk in our testimony about the needs of "California's children/students" not "California's public school students." We can't address your unique issues without your voice. Please encourage your colleagues to join.

I think some colleagues do not understand what they would get out of CLTA. They do not want to attend weekend or summer seminars for various personal reasons and do not see the point. So sad :(

Great job! For future seminars it would be nice to have teachers that share their experience for those that are new to teaching. For example it would be nice to connect with teachers that have experience working with exploratory or intro courses.
