Conference for English teachers!

by OCTELA

Mar 5, 2009

Hello!

I wanted to take a moment and let you know about a great opportunity for teachers of English Language Arts. OCTELA (the Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts—our state’s “version” of NCTE) will be hosting its annual conference on March 27th and 28th in Columbus. The conference’s theme is “Building Bridges: Connecting Ideas and Methods” and has something for every ELA educator and district. Attending will be a great investment—as you will come away with a wealth of information.

I know that professional development money is tight right now, but this year’s conference is going to be GREAT. I promise. I have listed a few of each day’s offerings/breakout sessions at the end of this post. Please take a moment and read through them. More information can be found at [link removed]

If you feel this conference is not for your you, please spread the word to other English Language Arts teachers. Let me know if you have any questio...See MoreHello!
