Veteran English Teachers Angelique Burrell and Jared Friebel recently found out that they will be presenting a seminar entitled "Zeroing Out Stress" at the 2015 English Language Arts County-Wide Institute Day at Wheaton North High School on February 27.  

Here's an overview of what sounds like a fabulous presentation:

"How can we best create a classroom environment that focuses on skills, not just homework? How can we encourage students to take intellectual risks without fearing failure? We will share ideas on how we can facilitate grading procedures that work toward these goals while also decreasing student and teacher stress."

This year's annual regional conference is entitled: "Celebrating Language Arts: Getting Serious About Humor Redux."  It attracts teachers and administrators from all around Chicagoland.  More information about this year's conference here.

Jared and Angelique had presented at several other state and national professional conferences.  You can read about some of them here and here and here.
