[TAP] CALL FOR PRESENTERS - K-12 Teaching as a Profession Summer Conference
All:
I am working on preparing for the K-12 Teaching as a Profession Summer Conference. Please make your calendar for Wednesday, June 11, 2025! We are still finalizing the location but plan on it being in the Wasatch Front area (think Canyons, Jordan, Granite, Alpine area).
Summer conference will look a little different this year as I want to be able to provide a more collaborative experience for TAP teachers instead of multiple breakout sessions like we have done in the past. The reasoning behind this is TAP teachers across the state have been asking to be able to collaborate with other TAP teachers to get ideas, ask questions, discuss, plan, etc. I want to be able to allow you to sit down as a group discuss topics such as:
Deep dive into the standards
Instructional materials to teach the standards
Understanding YouScience data
Update to the K-12 Teaching as a Profession pathway
Alignment between TAP courses and Educators Rising Utah
With that said, I am looking for facilitators to help with the topics listed above. If you are selected to help facilitate summer conference, you would need to be able to participate in the following:
Attend 2 virtual meeting (April/May) to summer conference plan
Create an outline for 1.5 hours of presentation during summer conference
If you are interested in being a facilitator for one of the courses at summer conference, please complete the following Google form by Friday, February 28. I will reach out to you in March if you are selected to help. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for all you doing and creating a professional development that is beneficial to all TAP teachers across the state.
ACTION ITEM: Complete the Google Form by Friday, February 28, if you are interested in being a facilitator at the 2025 K-12 Teaching as Profession Summer Conference.
ah
We invite you to share your expertise and innovative teaching practices by presenting at the Summer Conference this year.
If you are interested in presenting, please submit your proposal, using this link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddsK4_jgl3nFEbFK6CK3nd2eFoJIBQCwly9g8pfFM4c8ET_w/viewform?usp=sharing
