The NCSS Conference in Washington D.C. was so useful and relevant to my teaching. I learned about useful resources, meet new friends from around the country, and gained a better understanding about teaching to the 21st century learner. I love going to workshops that are useful and can be applied to my classroom. I can’t wait for next year!
