Schedule Information

The Celebration of Teaching & Learning’s schedule is organized around central themes or “content strands” (subjects that are the focus of presentations and workshops) to help you plan your visit to the event.

These content strands are:

• English Language Arts
  
• Instructional Technology
• Social Studies
• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
• Whole School Issues

Within each content strand an attendee will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of different professional development experiences, including:

• Plenary Sessions: Keynote presentations in the 2,000 seat main hall
• Featured Speakers: Lecture-style presentations in 200-300 seat rooms
• Workshops: 30-50 seat classroom-style rooms for hands-on interaction with instructors.

To help plan your agenda and find detailed information on sessions, including descriptions, speaker biographies, session days and times, please consult the Searchable Schedule. Please note: Posted schedule includes only Plenary Speakers and Featured Speakers sessions at this point. Workshop sessions will be posted early January 2010–please check back frequently for updates.

All presentations range from 60-75 minutes, and seating is first-come, first-served. In addition, attendees may browse the Exhibit Halls**, where over 150 vendors will present the latest in dynamic resources for the K-12 classroom.
