We have a wonderful conference planned for you - Worthwhile Sessions, Well-Respected Keynote Speakers and Featured Session Presenters, Exciting Special Events, Top-Notch Exhibitors, and Built-In Networking Opportunities... we hope you plan to get as much out of it as you possibly can. We hope your conference experience is enlightening, reflective, worthwhile, and the best learning opportunity you’ve had at a conference! Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you - look for our local committee in black suits with white shirts... we will be happy to assist you.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of the local and state committee members who made this conference possible, to Janet, our state chair – who worked tirelessly, to each and every session presenter and poster session presenter for sharing their knowledge, to each and every exhibitor who sponsored and supported our efforts, to all of our university colleagues who support this learning experience, and especially to each and every one of the attendees, for your participation.  To increase our skills as an educator, it is so important to participate in these collegial sessions...

 “Oral discussion about teachers’ perceptions and teaching experiences often lead to

a sense of professional excitement and renewed joy and energy related to their work.”

                                                                                                - Costa and Garmston 

        We hope the SPOTLIGHT OF SUCCESS is shining both on you and the students/teachers you impact and that this conference will provide you with renewed joy and energy.
