The opportunity for educators to come together, to learn, and to share will be revived on April 13-14, 2000 in Eskasoni.  The last ANTEC Conference was held in Eskasoni in 1993 and the year 2000 is appropriate to restart this important conference.  Further ANTEC Conferences will occur on a biannual basis at this and other locations across the Maritimes.  This conference is supported by the Education Directors of the Maritimes, the Nova Scotia Department of Education and the Department of Indian & Northern Affairs.

During the fall of 1999, the Atlantic First Nation schools and communities were asked to forward topics that were of interest to them.  The ANTEC Committee then drew on their suggestion and constructed an agenda of a workshop.  These workshops are varied and explore things such as FAS/FAE, computers as teaching tools, learning styles, language immersion, special needs, conflict resolution, writing strategies, co-op ed and many more.

As many as 300+ participants are expected for this conference and registration and program information can be obtained by contacting:
