Reminders – Upcoming VSG schedule January 2022
The VSG meets weekly on Fridays. All AET members are welcome to come to any/all meetings they are available and want to join. There is no commitment to attend all the meetings, because we know that scheduling can be difficult.
Below is the monthly schedule. The group meet sat the same times (listed below) on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks of every month. The time of the VSG on the 3rd Friday is the only one that varies month-to-month.
- 1st Friday (January 7) at 8:00am (PT)/11:00am(ET) – open forum style (anything that anyone would like to discuss is welcome!)
- 2nd Friday (January 14) at 11:00am (PT)/2:00pm (ET) – open forum style (anything that anyone would like to discuss is welcome!)
- 3rd Friday (January 21) at 11:00am (PT)/2:00pm (ET) – special topic: Discover how you can contribute your ideas to The Educational Therapist Journal. It is easier than you think! A conversation with Sherry Cramer, journal editor
- There will be no VSG on January 27 because there is an AET-sponsored Workshop that day (The Neuropsychology of Written Language Disorders: An Introduction to the FAW, Presented by: Dr. Steven G. Feifer)
- All of the VSGs for the month of January 2022 (and almost all in general) have the same login info.
Zoom login information is available on the AET website, in the members’ center, under “study group resources.”
