2010 International Teachers' Conference

"Bringing International Culture to Every Classroom"

Thanks to all the teachers and educators who participated in this year's International Teachers' Conference, held on Saturday, February 20th at the Teaching and Learning Academy. This year's conference honored the modern African nation of Tunisia, and teachers in attendance learned how to incorporate international culture into their classrooms, all while obtaining professional development hours (MCS and Private Schools) or flex hours (SCS) for their attendance. The conference is offered free of charge each year to Memphis-area teachers and educators. The International Teachers' Conference is sponsored by Buckman.

All resources and materials from the conference will be made available for download from this website - so keep an eye out!
