Explore bold new directions in teaching practice. This is your top opportunity all year to explore the best new teaching practices at this year's ASCD Conference on Teaching Excellence, July 8–10, 2016, in New Orleans, Louisiana. In just two-and-a-half days, you'll get a whole career's worth of new strategies and solutions to use in any grade level or subject. Learn what's working in classrooms and schoolwide. You know that trying new ideas and experimenting with your craft is the heart and soul of teacher growth and professional development. But you don't have to "reinvent the wheel" every time you want to add to your skill set. Other teachers and teacher leaders have their secrets to share with you. Sessions will cover student engagement, teacher leadership and effectiveness, instructional strategies, and more. Speakers include Darlene Axtell, Carlton Glassford, Jane Pollock, and other noted education experts.
