Classes, Conferences, Seminars, etc.

  • Summer 2009 - Building Learning Communities '09

    Fantastic conference in Boston which took place over five days. Monday and Tuesday were preconference days, with a wonderful variety of workshops to participate in. Wednesday - Friday was the actual conference. Alhough I learned about more technolgies than I could count, I highlighted a few in this video which I created as a commercial for one of our professional development days.




    • Spring 2009 - Strenthening your Geometry Program offered by the Bureau of Eduation and Research - link missing to specific class

      • Great course, many innovatice ideas for teaching the subject. Since I took this class during my first year of teach geometry, I was able to implement (and thankful for) many of the strategies introduced.


    • Fall 2008 - Motivating the Unmotivated

      • This was a one day conference in Connecticut. I learned several good strategies for classroom management. While I appreciate the new things I did learn, I was hoping to get some ideas for how to motivate specific students I was struggling to reach. This was definitely a worthwhile conference, but was geared more toward public school.
