SDE Announces the Reading, Writing, Math & More! Conference in New Orleans, LA
NEW ORLEANS and PETERBOROUGH, N.H., March 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To compete for jobs in the 21th century, students need a strong academic base that prepares them for success in a knowledge-based economy. At the Conference on Reading, Writing, Math & More!, PreK–5 educators will gain research-based strategies and innovative ideas for enhancing their instruction in the core content areas. The conference is returning to New Orleans, LA, June 28-30, 2017 hosted by Staff Development for Educators (SDE).
"Early elementary teachers we talk to are eager to increase their content knowledge, design coherent instruction, and assess students within their instruction. They also are seeking new and better ways to manage classroom procedures and engage students in learning," Mia Leonard-Solis, SDE program developer, says. This conference fulfills these and other needs through 60+ innovative sessions delivered over three days of learning and inspiration.
Shaped by feedback from educators, the Conference on Reading, Writing, Math & More! will focus on the most useful and relevant topics: behavior management and discipline; time management; reading and writing interventions; differentiated instruction; number sense and math interventions; mindset and resiliency; project-based learning; and small-group instruction. Attendees will learn how to create a child-centered learning environment, build a positive rapport with students and increase their motivation and engagement, and use assessment methods and interventions to determine student readiness and progress and support struggling learners.
"Many states in this region have expanded or plan to expand their PreK programs," Mia Leonard-Solis, SDE program developer, says. "In response, we've added to this year's event a strong early childhood strand as well."
The conference is the place to learn what's working and what's not from a top-notch team of highly regarded and frequently requested presenters. Featured this year are award-winning author Brod Bagert; former teacher and principal Charles Beaman, Ed.D.; leadership expert Danny Brassell, Ph.D.; literacy expert Jennifer McDonough; and math teacher and author Eliza Thomas.
"I'm really excited to bring this important event back to New Orleans where it originated. The hard-working teachers here deserve the highest quality of professional development to best support their students. There is no conference that comes even close to offering the educational and motivational power of Reading, Writing, Math & More!," Leonard-Solis adds.
