Conference: a time for powerful connections
Inspiring! Empowering! These are just two words that came to mind after attending the June 22nd OELMA/Kent State Freedom to Read Forum. There's nothing quite like having the opportunity to gather with like-minded professionals to discuss our roles in schools. I left with questions, answers, aha moments, and a true yearning for more time to collaborate. I always look forward to the OELMA Annual Conference and today provided a small taste of what is to come this fall. And frankly, I cannot wait!
See you October 5-7 to continue the conversations!
Kris Konik, OELMA Director of Teaching and Learning
