ReplyDeleteI'm a fairly new teacher so I love hearing from the presenters and just chatting with fellow attendees. I find professional development opportunities to be so valuable. Also, I was teaching first grade the last time I attended the NCAEE conference. I remember hearing so many great ideas, but I also remember wondering how I would implement many of them with such young students. This year, however, I'm teaching third grade, so I'm really looking forward to attending with a fresh perspective and older students in mind! Can't wait for October!!!
