Conference Registration
Registration Information
When you register for the 2009 Conference on Teaching and Learning, you can tailor your conference experience by choosing from more than 80 ticketed sessions on a variety of topics.
Please note: Registration for the 2009 Conference on Teaching and Learning does not include registration to the Pre-Conference Institutes. Learn more about Pre-Conference Institutes.
For a closer look at the conference offerings, check out the session descriptions.
Register in Advance
To provide you with the ultimate professional development experience, this conference allows you to reserve seating at the sessions you wish to attend. All sessions are ticketed, with the exception of the General Sessions, Networking Breakfast & Discussion, and the Debriefing & Reflection Sessions. You must preregister, and only participants with the correct tickets will be allowed into the ticketed sessions.
By requiring tickets, we can limit the size of sessions. The resulting smaller sessions are designed to include activities, small-group discussions, and hands-on applications of content.
Ticketed sessions fill up quickly, so you will want to make your reservations now. When registering, please include alternative session selections for each time slot in case a session you choose is already full.
How to Target Your Learning Needs
We've made it easy for you to customize your conference experience to fit your exact learning needs. Choose between Beginner and Experienced levels. Most sessions are focused on teachers, teacher leaders, or administrators. While most sessions are for audiences in every grade level, some are specifically for elementary audiences and some for secondary audiences. These designations are not meant to inhibit you from attending sessions but rather to assist you in finding the ones that best fit your learning needs.
