A Place Where English Educators Come to Learn and Collaborate
Teaching for the Heart and Soul:
Engaging and Inspiring Our Students
During this year’s MCTE fall workshop, our key speakers discussed a troubling trend in today’s classrooms: apathy.
Join us at the 2018 Spring Conference, so we can learn together and tackle this issue.
Breakout sessions, keynotes, and a panel discussion will all focus on the theme “Teaching for the Heart and Soul: Engaging and Inspiring Our Students.” By the end of the two-day conference, you will be able to return to your classrooms with lessons, strategies, book recommendations, etc to improve the relevancy of your curriculum for your students. Ideas for increasing the confidence of struggling students will also be added to your toolbox. This opportunity to collaborate with teachers from across the state to promote a lifelong love of reading and writing is one you will not want to miss!
