REGISTRATION INFORMATION

All certified staff will attend a morning and afternoon keynote.  Each staff member is asked to pick 4 sessions to attend (one during each breakout session).  For a list of breakout sessions and descriptions, please visit the website detailing the day.

To learn more about each session, you can either place your mouse over the session title on the list or click the session to see more information about the presentation as well as the speaker.

On Wednesday, January 13th at 4pm, registration will open for each session.  Please preview the session list and identify 1 or 2 options for each session time to attend.  Sessions may fill quickly so we have worked hard to offer sessions multiple times on a variety of topics. Specifics on registering for sessions may be accessed anytime after 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 13th on the registration page.

We look forward to a great day of learning and growing on January 18th!
