A Letter from Your Speaker

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to an all new, fast-paced high energy information-packed seminar just for

educators! As schools move more toward inclusive programming for all students,

the role of the general education teacher continues to expand. Teachers must master

a wide repertoire of instructional interventions and accommodations to meet a

broader continuum of learning differences in order to keep all kids focused, learning

and motivated. That's why this seminar is so important.

 

This seminar is designed to provide practical answers to the challenges all teachers

face. I will provide research-based tips and techniques for all teachers in the "Real

World", where teachers juggle complicated schedules, demanding standards,

materials, and a busy classroom full of enthusiastic learners. You will learn how to

channel that energy and excitement into visible growth in your classrooms. By

utilizing these approaches and techniques, you will be adding an incredibly important

dimension to your instructional program. Join me for a fast-paced day loaded with

essential skills that will change the way you teach and enhance your effectiveness

immediately.

 

This will truly be a day of discovery...you will learn, you will laugh, and you will

recharge your teaching battery. I look forward to sharing a day with my fellow

educators.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Gail Fulford
