Ready to Redefine and Redesign the Future?
AACTE’s 65th Annual Meeting promises to be a learning event without equal for educator preparation professionals. The 3-day agenda is jam-packed with opportunities to advance your understanding of new concepts and theories, hear the latest research, and discover innovative practices and programs. How will you select among the estimated 300 concurrent sessions offered?
Even if you have narrowed your focus to just one of the four strands that serve as organizational themes for this year’s conference, there are more sessions within each strand than meeting hours in the day. Perhaps you’d like to take a tip from your peers to decide what to attend.
In recent polls, AACTE members identified Strand I: Redefining the Purposes of Schools and Education as the one most relevant to their personal needs and interests–and within that strand, they wanted to learn about “Redesigning Preparation Programs.” Here are some of the sessions they–and you!–might consider attending.
