Mrs. Arla Jo Kaimann had a wonderful professional development experience this summer. Here is her description:
I was fortunate enough to attend the Elevate conference again this year and it was even better than last year. I attended workshops on the science of writing and brain development, how to make my classroom more engaging, and how to further diversify my lessons to reach all learners. I was fortunate to hear keynote from Gerry Brooks, Kim Bearden and Mr. Greg. I also had the pleasure of attending sessions with Jake Daggett. The icing on all of the cake was getting to attend a concert and meet Jack Hartman! That is some serious street cred with little kids. I'm so grateful to be able to attend this conference to make myself a better teacher.
