Future Teachers Conference
Students interested in being a teacher are encouraged to join Mrs. Otteman and Mrs. McConahy on a field trip to the Future Teachers Conference, Feb 7th, 8:00 to 2:00 on the UNC campus. This free conference is designed to help aspiring teachers learn more about the field, connect with peers and gather insights from Colorado’s leader in teacher education. The conference will feature presentations and workshops facilitated by preservice teachers (current UNC students), early career teachers, veteran educators and UNC faculty/administrators. Please see Ms. Sparkman in the front office for a permission form.
