Attending the NCTE national conference last year was one of the best things I have done. I was a bit overwhelmed by the vast amount of sessions that I could attend, but I fought my way through the thousands of English teachers and managed to sit in on some really amazing sessions on writing workshops, using Google, and not using Google.
To that end I am pretty excited to attend North Dakota’s Council of Teachers of English Conference 2011. Taylor Mali is the keynote speaker and conducting two of the sessions. If you think you’ve heard his name before, you’re probably right. He wrote the famous poem “What teachers make”. I think the poem has been forwarded to death through email, but there’s nothing like seeing him perform the poem, so check out You Tube to do that J
