The objectives are:  to provide professional development opportunities that address cutting edge and emerging topics of concern to K-12 classroom teachers and assist teachers in improving their professional knowledge and skills.

Specifically, the sessions and workshops will aim to assist teachers in meeting Wisconsin Standards for Teacher Development and Licensure under PI 34. Those standards call for teachers to: know the subjects they are teaching; know how children grow; understand that children learn differently; know how to teach; know how to manage a classroom; communicate well; know how to plan different kinds of lessons; know how to assess student progress; know how to evaluate their own teaching practice; connect with other teachers in the learning community.
