The WITEA Spring Conference has been called, “The best professional development I have ever experienced in my time as a teacher”. The conference sessions are created for teachers by teachers and the best practices that you learn are invaluable.
This event is an excellent way to learn what’s working in classrooms across the state, and many of the ideas can be taken back to the classroom and implemented the next day.
By sharing the great things we are doing in our classrooms, we prove that together we are stronger and better teachers. Join us!
