Session Types:
- Listen and Learn sessions are traditional presentation sessions that do not have an interactive component.
- Interactive sessions will provide participants with opportunities to engage with colleagues and/or guided practice.
- Teacher to Teacher Roundtable sessions feature 3-5 presenters each briefly sharing a specific strategy or perspective with time for Q&A and discussion. Participation is welcomed but not expected in these sessions.
