1 Idea, 3 Minutes

1 idea. 3 minutes. The clock will be ticking as speakers share one idea in three minutes in a rapid-fire speaking engagement in which you will hear from educators across a variety of roles and backgrounds. Each speaker will submit three ideas ahead of the conference which will then be drawn at random during the session to add a bit of spontaneity to the proceedings. This session will be sure to inspire + engage for those looking to add new dimensions to their instruction and improve their practice.
