We’re going to treat this as much like a regular conference as we can to get a sweet taste of normalcy. Sessions will be dripped out over April 24 - 25, and there will be a private Facebook group where you can interact with the presenters.

It’s going to be a great way to connect with like-minded teachers all around the world.
