Summer Conferences

Summer conference season is upon us! A summer conference offers teachers a great opportunity to learn more to enhance and inspire his or her instruction in a relaxed summer setting. Many teachers find that summer learning allows more time for reflection and thought to apply new ideas to his or her practice while they are still planning for the new school year.

The following is a list and description of conferences available for teachers using rollover title funds. To qualify for conferences, teachers must express interest and be willing to commit to attend by March 1. For each conference, registration information and stipulations will be communicated after you discuss your interest with me.

For those opportunities that include travel, the flight and hotel costs may be covered. We will know that information in mid-March. Depending on the amount that is covered teachers may make the choice to attend or "back out" at that time.

Each title is linked to the information about the conference.
