The St. Maarten ASCD is having its 21st annual conference for Educators, which is scheduled for February 17th – 18th 2011. The theme for this conference is Beyond Innovations: The way forward. The two- day conference will be held at the University of St. Martin between the hours of 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m.
These sessions are aimed at supporting the new Innovation in education and also improving the personal and professional growth of our colleagues in education, which is in keeping with ASCD’s mission to provide for Professional Advancement and Leadership for Quality Education on St. Maarten.
As is customary we will have local and international presenters. The international presenters are from the U.S.A., St. Thomas and Anguilla. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Emily Carter from the University of the Virgin Islands. They are all professionals in their respective fields and will share several techniques with those in attendance. We are catering for 400 educators of the Cycle One and Cycle Two teachers of the various elementary schools. Persons from the general public are also invited to the conference as well.
