Beggining Teacher Conference

I wanted to share this reminder from the Illinois New Teacher Collaborative that registration for the Beginning Teacher Conference is open.  There is no conference fee, and hotel rooms for the night of June 26th will be provided by INTC thanks to the generous sponsorship of the State Farm Companies Foundation.  Attendees are responsible for the cost of their own transportation and any additional personal expenses incurred.  CPDUs will be available.

 

“Y2: Moving Beyond Survival” is a two-day conference for new teachers who are just completing their first year of teaching in Illinois .  Conference dates are June 26^th and 27^th.  If you know of first-year teachers who may be interested in attending this conference, they can register for the conference here.

 

Beginning teachers face unique challenges and rewarding experiences in their first year.  The Y2 conference is an opportunity for them to:

 

• Reflect on and share the past year’s teaching experience  

• Reflect on preservice education

• Network with beginning teachers from around the state

• Gain valuable teaching tools and ideas to use in your classroom

• Hear a motivational speaker 

 

What have previous attendees said about the conference?  Take a look:

·         “The conference was outstanding!”

·         “Great to get fired up about teaching during the summer!”

·         “Awesome conference! Thank you."

·         “It made me see things from another perspective.”

·         “A great motivator for getting ready for next year."

 

Conference size is limited.  Register early.  To register for the conference, visit  http://intc.education.illinois.edu/btc.  If you have questions, contact intc@illinois.edu or (217) 244-7389.
