POSITIVE WORDS ABOUT OUR LAST CONFERENCE

“Thanks very much to both of you for including our organization in the conference. It was great to meet so many committed and creative teachers, and I got a lot out of the sessions I attended, as well as the one I facilitated. I hope we’ll have more chances to collaborate in the future.“

~ Nadia Kalman, Editor & Curriculum Designer Words Without Borders Campus

“Attending this conference is especially rewarding…My energies are renewed and my ideas are revitalized. Being somewhat overwhelmed by paperwork … I find attending a professional conference to be extremely important. Attending workshops on relevant and innovative ways of approaching curriculum is enriching.”

“The NYSEC conference is an English teacher’s dream. Being together with so many talented teachers from all over the state is inspiring and motivational. I always leave ready to tackle something new.”

~ Dr. Beth Zirogiannis, Director of English, Reading, and Library, K-12, Oceanside CSD

“Going to my first NYSEC conference was an immersion into the instruction of English. The speakers were engaging, and the vendors were well chosen and helpful. I went back into the classroom inspired, and I hope to attend the conference again.”

~Ani Rosario, 7th Grade English teacher, Dansville Central School District
