Do you know someone who just finished their first year of teaching?

teacherRegistration is now open for the INTC 7th Annual:

Beginning Teacher Conference “Y2: Moving Beyond Survival.”

The conference will take place on June 29 and 30, 2016, in Champaign.

This conference is open to beginning teachers (all grade levels and content areas) who have just completed their first year of full-time teaching in Illinois.

Register for the conference here.

Beginning teachers face unique challenges and rewarding experiences in their first year. The Y2 conference is an opportunity for them to:

  • Reflect on and share the past year’s teaching experience
  • Network with beginning teachers from around the state
  • Gain valuable teaching tools and ideas to use in their classrooms
  • Hear a motivational speaker
  • Volunteer to share their own practice in the innovative UnConference: U-Teach session

Conference registration is $75. The conference includes one night’s stay at the I Hotel (a $130 value), one breakfast, two lunches, a reception, and a chance at winning several door prizes, including an iPad mini.

Attendees are responsible for the cost of their own transportation and any additional personal expenses incurred.

This is a low-cost conference thanks to the generous sponsorship of the State Farm Companies Foundation and the College of Education at Illinois.

Professional Development Hours will be available.

Due to limited space, this conference is limited to 125 participants. Attendees must be teachers who have just completed their first year of full-time teaching in Illinois.
