Two Groups of English Teachers Present at State Educational Conference

This weekend, two groups of teachers gave presentations at the Illinois Association of Teachers of English 2013 Conference in Bloomington, Illinois.

Angelique Burrell, Jared Friebel, and Heather Ferhman, all teachers of Honors Seminar in Writing, presented on "Creative Nonfiction and Authenticity: Re-energizing and Celebrating Student Writing."

Michael Palmquist and David Lange spoke about formative assessment and the Common Core in a presentation entitled, "Getting Better: Quick, Easy, and Honest Ways to Show Student Growth."

Presenting at state and national conferences is one way that demonstrates teachers' professional commitment to continual growth and another sign that English teachers at Central are at the forefront of English educators.
