Upcoming Conference Opportunity

Welcome back from Spring Break. If you are looking for an energizing professional development opportunity consider attending the third annual Connected Educators Unconference on Saturday, April 18th. The event is $20 and will be at the Jackson Career Center.

In my opinion hosting a Saturday event ensures that participants want to be there, and will be engaged. Jackson County ISD and Ingham ISD are teaming up to produce the event. This is a chance for active learning alongside experts. BYOD and prepare to participate!
