The College of Education & Human Development at Texas A&M University is interested in bringing students who have completed their junior year in high school, and are interested in exploring careers in teaching and improving their leadership skills to the main campus in College Station! This year's camp will be JUNE 22-25, 2008.
The Exploring Leadership Opportunities and Rewards in Education (ExpLORE) Summer Conference is a program that introduces teacher education programs, leadership opportunities, career opportunities and courses of study to enrich students' knowledge of the teaching profession. Over the course of a week, students will reside on campus, participate in activities, and experience first hand the teaching profession. The program has been designed specifically to help build the communication and leadership skills of students and introduce them to rewards and opportunities available in the field of education.
Students will be selected in a competitive application process. Once selected to attend ExpLORE, the students will pay their non-refundable $50.00 fee. The fee can be waived with a letter from a high school counselor indicating financial need. The conference is open to students who are finishing their junior year and are ranked in the Top 25% of their high school class. If the school does not have a ranking by the time of application, students must include a letter from their counselor indicating their Top Quarter ranking. Students must submit a completed application, an official transcript and the completed essay page of the application. Additional portions of the application must be received before the deadline. The deadline for applications to be returned is 5:00 PM, May 9, 2008.
Non-participation in group activities or misconduct will not be tolerated and will lead to dismissal at the attendant's expense.
