The Experienced Pro

This three-day conference brings together experienced teachers with at least 10 years of teaching experience. The conference provides the leadership and the time to reflect, explore, give and get some perspective, generate new ideas and plans, and savor or confirm long-held, valuable ones.  Led by David Mallery, including a morning spent with a top quality educator such as Robert Evans, teachers gather together for all kinds of conversations, solo times, and planning sessions in small groups. The content is incomparable and the connections are memorable. Housed at Sugar Loaf Conference Center in Germantown, the accommodations are adequate, but the meals and overall atmosphere are outstanding!  

"What a wonderful three days in Chestnut Hill. No academic skills are taught, no how-to demonstrations are presented, no ideas to use in your classroom are brought forward.  Instead, this conference is an opportunity to regroup and recenter your own thoughts about teaching and about your place in the profession. Other teachers at the conference will, like you, have completed at least ten years of teaching. Conversations are meaningful, interactions lively and the entire atmosphere soothing to the spirit. If you can possibly convince your head to allow you to attend, you'll enjoy every single moment." (Annette Hearing)
