UEA

On Friday of the fall break, I attended the second day of UEA. They keynote speaker was a woman from Ohio. She gave a motivation speech that inspired us teachers to really care about our students and to believe in their success. The speech moved me to tears several times...it was good.

The other two classes I attended were Tips and Shortcuts for Elementary Teachers and Acing the Praxis. The first one was from an elementary teacher who had great advise on creating personal files for each student, literacy rotations, math centers and letters to parents. She shared her PowerPoint notes with us and I am so excited to have ALL that information. I know I will use some of it. The second class was awesome and I am very grateful for the information I learned in it. I need to to take the Praxis PLT soon and he gave us priceless info regarding the test. He has created a study guide for the test and is emailing me the link. This will save me a load of money from having to purchase books geared toward the test. He was also positive and motivating.

I really enjoyed attending the UEA conference. The booths were interesting and helpful and the speeches were inspiring. I definitely plan to attend in future years.
