Program 2013

 For our 2013 Program, we have maintained the format established for our 2010, 2011 and 2012 events and have combined keynote speakers, panel discussions and professional learning sessions into a single day that will have something for everyone seeking professional development and fulfillment. All available abstracts will be linked to the appropriate item. Similarly, all available presentations will be linked to this page. After the event, look for ” Presentation ” with a link to the Panel, PD Sessions and Lifetime Achievement Award presentations. Depending upon your Internet connection, some presentations may take some time to download for viewing or retention.

As with other similar events, our Program has been subject to changes. On January 31st, Verna Lawrence-Toy was faced with a family emergency and was forced to withdraw. Fortunately, our Excellence Canada Co-Chair was able to step in and thus we had a PD Session 2B. Check out our Program below for further information.
