Teacher Candidate Professional Development Conference

The Teacher Candidate Professional Development Conference is an annual two-day conference for teacher candidates. One full day is dedicated to Elementary & Middle Years and one full day is dedicated to Secondary. Hosted on campus, this event follows a typical conference schedule, with keynote speakers, break out sessions (50/80 minutes), and a panel discussion. Attendance is mandatory as this conference is a part of EDUC 315.
