DEMOREST - Area educators and education students can still register for a one-day conference Saturday, March 14, at Piedmont College in Demorest that will focus on timely issues and trends in education.

The Piedmont Educator Renewal Conference (PERC) is titled "Creative Instruction in the Age of Accountability," and will allow educators to share information on innovative and effective practices and recent research in education, said Dr. Don Gnecco, Dean of the Piedmont College School of Education.

"This is our third annual PERC event, and it has proven to be a good way for educators in the area to exchange information about best preactices," Gnecco said. Sessions will be conducted by Piedmont faculty and recent graduates from the college's master's, specialist, and doctoral programs. Additionally, Dr. Betty Siegel, President Emerita of Kennesaw State University and a member of the Piedmont College Board of Trustees, will address participants.

The cost of the conference is $40 for teachers and $10 for students. Education students can use attendance at the conference as field experience. Conference registration includes lunch and snacks. Conference registration begins at 8 a.m. in the Swanson Center. The day will conclude at approximately 3:30 p.m. For more information, including how to register, contact Dr. Donna Andrews at [email protected] or visit www.piedmont.edu/perc..
