I need a ticket to attend the Happy Go Teach conference for teachers who are passionate about teaching. The cost of this project includes the event and meals.
My students are creative little people. They come to art class eager to try new things. They love to paint, color, and use their hands to make art. We live in a small, rural community, where many families struggle to provide basic needs that most people take for granted. All of my students are "my" children. They deserve a well-rounded, quality education, despite any economic hardships they might face. We also serve military-connected students as we are located near a large military base.
My Project
The Happy Go Teach conference will provide me with the opportunity to collaborate with teachers across the country! I can’t wait to use the knowledge gained from attending this conference in my own classroom.
Happy Go Teach focuses on teachers who are passionate about teaching and want to keep up with the 21st Century learners!
This includes incorporating hands-on activities, technology, and social media. It also allows for connecting and learning with other positive and forward-thinking educators, to better meet the needs of my students! This conference will be nothing short of two energetic and motivational days full of active participation.
Jen Jones is a 22 year veteran that has served as a reading specialist and an RTI coordinator. Ms. Jones is just one of the main speakers. Since I teach so many students of different abilities, styles, and grade levels, I will certainly benefit from learning how to address the needs of all my students. This conference is more about the mindsets, beliefs, and best practices to instruct in a 21st century classroom. It helps an educator build on relationships and collaboration, with STEM and literacy involved as well.
The co-facilitators believe that together we are stronger, in the classroom everyone is a learner and everyone is a teacher, and that teachers have the power to change education for the greater good and make a difference in the lives of students every single day!
The Happy Go Teach conference is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I am extremely excited to attend! This conference will allow me to continue my self-growth as an educator and provide me with many new and engaging ideas for the classroom!
