Teachers' Conferences

Testimonials from teachers who have attended our conferences

"Your conference, as so many of us brought out that day, is a ‘shot in the arm’ for both the veteran teacher as well as the newcomer. It stimulates me to come back to my classes and my school invigorated and excited about the field I have chosen to teach."

"Hearing from the leading experts in the field is the greatest stimulation possible."

"It was one of the highlights of my teaching career spanning 25 years…. I had some wonderful discussions with my classes as I bragged of having been to the mountain. It is due to the efforts of individuals such as you that subjects such as physics and astronomy come alive, not only to teachers but also to their students."

"I learned more here than I have at all of the other meetings and conferences I have been to combined."

"I want to ignite and excite, and these presentations give me the resources I want."

"The very opportunity to hear, see, and respond to such a presentation (in person) is not only informative, but stimulating and invigorating. It sends a message to me (and my colleagues) that what we are doing IS important – important enough to merit recognition from the leading players in the field…that I have been invited to attend such a meeting…gives me a motivational boost and a credibility that makes me feel that I AM contributing…to this field of science. I also believe that inculcating such an attitude in secondary teacher ‘in the field’ has a ‘trickle-down effect’ whose impact will only be evident years from now in the students we see."
