Interested in presenting a workshop?
Share your expertise and inspiration by proposing a workshop for the Education Minnesota Professional Conference held in downtown St. Paul on the third Thursday in October.
Although the lineup of workshops for the 2009 Education Minnesota Professional Conference is now complete, we will begin accepting workshop proposals for the 2010 Professional Conference in the spring.
Delivering high-quality, professionally interesting education topics remains our focus. Classroom strategies, research on new teaching methods and success stories will round out the types of proposals we hope to receive.
In particular, we invite you to share your knowledge and expertise in the following education areas:
- Developing collaborative relationships with parents, families and communities.
- Improving classroom management strategies.
- Broadening the knowledge base for all educators.
- Presenting new professional development initiatives that enhance teacher learning and improve student achievement.
- Assisting educators who seek to bring “wellness” into their professional practice.
Our audiences frequently ask for these:
- Interactive presentations
- Materials and resources for future reference
- Effective, hands-on classroom strategies
In addition, content-specific and pedagogical topics in demand include the following:
- Teaching English language learners
- Differentiation for diverse learners
- Mathematics at all levels
- Music
- The entire field of social studies
If you are interested in presenting a workshop at next year’s conference, Oct. 21 and 22, 2010, please e-mail your contact information to Wendy Nelson or call her at 651-292-4834. We will mail you a Request for Proposal form next spring.
