Summer may be here now, but any educator knows that summertime is fleeting - so we're planning now for our fall signature conference, Teacher 2 Teacher!

We're accepting proposals through July 1 for all strands listed from both experienced and new presenters. T2T is a great environment to build your presentation resume and share your expertise - even newer teachers have wisdom to share with peers!

Visit tinyurl.com/T2Tproposal for more info or to submit. We can't wait to see what you'll bring to the table!

Your day will include multiple sessions with high-impact recommendations for your daily practice, as well as at least one roundtable session where you can share with peers and solve problems of practice together.
