Learning Forward 2016 Annual Conference

Connecting Landscapes for Learning

Save the date! December 3-7, 2016.

When it comes to learning about educator professional development, this is THE conference.

With the coastal mountain range, Pacific Ocean, temperate rainforest, natural beauty, and year-round mild climate, it is no wonder that Vancouver has been named the world’s most livable city eight times since 2002. After a long day of learning, you can relax and enjoy the downtown waterfront, an inviting, vibrant community of restaurants, attractions, and retail–including a float plane terminal conveniently located to accommodate adventurous travelers!

This is an exciting opportunity for faculty and graduate students to engage the national and international K-12 education community in a number of ways, including presenting research.

Apply to present by February 1, 2016, on the Learning Forward Conference website.
