Are you ready to share your classroom ideas and strategies to improve your colleagues’ teaching, classroom management and techniques? The Missouri State Teachers Association is looking for change agents to share the secrets of your success with other educators at the 2nd annual Teachers as Change Agents conference June 14 and 15, at Tan Tar A in the Lake of the Ozarks.
This unique professional development conference is led by you, the actual practitioners. We already know you’re an expert, why not share your knowledge? Your fellow educators can learn from your experiences and walk away with practical applications. MSTA believes there are amazing teachers teaching great lessons in Missouri classrooms and we want to showcase those at the 2012 TACA event, but we need your help. Submit your proposal today! Presenters will receive meals, mileage and lodging when applicable. The deadline to submit a proposal is Friday, Jan. 20.
Teachers as Change Agents is a time to discuss education reform, offer suggestions and glean new ideas from fellow educators. The learning strand is: promoting student learning through effective assessments and instructional practices. Specific breakout topics are listed on the proposal form. The agenda will include a pre-conference on Thursday morning, four breakout sessions and a closing time to compose your action plan. In response to your requests from last year, we will be increasing the length of the breakout sessions to enable you to delve deeper into the topic.
If you have questions, please contact Cindy Whitaker at cwhitaker@msta.org.
