Summer Institute 2018 Poster Sessions Needed
Rob Podlasek, Training DirectorSummer Institute is all about sharing and learning from your colleagues. Help make the event a success by presenting a poster session!
It doesn’t need to be fancy.
- Make a poster highlighting a program innovation, new teaching routine, exciting classroom activity, etc.
- Create a handout that people can take with them. During the poster session (1:15-2:00 pm on Thursday, August 16)
- Stand by your poster, meet with your peers and answer questions. It’s like a science fair for ABE teachers!
