Keynote Speaker

What Participants are Saying

Everything was very organized. I received a wealth of information that I can immediately return to my campus to incorporate in my professional sessions with my teachers.
I really enjoyed the session on performance tasks. I know I can implement them in my classroom next week and I have a better understanding of how to utilize them. Overall this was the BEST conference or training I have been to.
I took something meaningful from every session! I especially loved the healthy balance between high-level, research based ideas and things I could copy and take to my classrooms the next day.
So many great ideas and I'm excited to use them in my classroom to increase confidence and better math skills.
