Dear CEESA Colleagues,
The 26th Annual CEESA Conference is just around the corner. We have assembled some talented and inspiring educators to challenge our thinking about our theme, "Transforming Education Through Personalizing Learning".
The conference will be held March 17-19, 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey at the Renaissance Istanbul Bosphorus Hotel. This boutique hotel will cater to our conference delegates, as we will have full run of the hotel with our learning programs. Room reservations need to be made by February 1 to ensure the special rate. Please use this online hotel reservations link.
For those attending the Pre-Conference sessions, plan to arrive on Wednesday. To see the full list of Thursday’s sessions, visit our Pre-Conference webpage.
Thursday evening, the hotel is offering a welcome reception in the roof top lounge. Come and see CEESA old friends and meet new ones.
Friday morning’s key note, “Learning Personalized: Catalyzing A Vision”, will be given by Greg Curtis. This keynote will focus first on the “whys” of Personalized Learning, move through the “whats” and outline the essential “hows” to achieve the shifts required to make this approach achievable and essential for our students. Much of this content is drawn from the book, Learning Personalized: The Evolution of The Contemporary Classroom (Allison Zmuda, Greg Curtis and Diane Ullman, Jossey-Bass, 2015).
Check our website for all of the conference speakers and sessions and register today by using the online registration form.
