Project CHOICES will not be
holding our annual LRE conference in 2012, but please stay
tuned for more information on upcoming webinars!
We know that many look forward
to the LRE conference as a time of learning and networking with
colleagues, and Project CHOICES has enjoyed the opportunity to
provide a professional development day to so many devoted,
professional educators and family members for the past 11
years. However, our project acknowledges that
it is becoming increasingly challenging for districts
and schools to send staff members to all day workshops. In
addition, research suggests that it is very difficult for teachers
to transfer content learned in a one-day workshop to classroom
practice if coaching support is not in place (Joyce & Showers,
2002). Therefore, we have decided to move away from large,
off-site, one-day conferences.
However, we are planning some learning and
networking opportunities via webinars. Please stay tuned for
Project CHOICES webinars in 2012! Please check back to learn
how to participate in these exciting learning opportunities.
Thank you for your attendance at our LRE
conferences over the last 11 years and your continued support of
the work of Project CHOICES!
