Program Information

______________________________________________
Friday, April 13, at BIQ

Check-in for Friday will be between 8 and 9am, with a continental breakast. Lunch on Friday will also be with the Conference.

In the morning, topics will include Addressing Underachievement and Defining and Implementing Differentiation. In the afternoon, the primary focus will be on Counseling Needs, looking at both formal and informal aspects.

Because of the design and size of our Friday programming, we tend to do a fair amount of individualization for the educators who join us.
