Conference Notes
I am a conference junkie. While I do a great deal of presenting myself, below are notes and handouts (as PDFs) from worthwhile sessions at the last conference I attended.  What I choose to attend may seem random, but I actually pick sessions based on current work, what I'm reading or planning, as well as long-term interests like classroom data and assessment.  Please feel free to contact me at j.morrison@artofeducating.com if you have questions or would like to discuss my take on any of the following in detail.  Notes from previous conferences are filed under "Articles and Notes" in my library on this website.
