Conferences

Please add conferences or workshops that you have attended. Feel free to recommend them or bash them. This is meant to help us plan our professional development. It would be great to include information about workshops that you have found through our IU, too!

Great! I came back with tons of things to share with my colleagues. This is not a conference where you are going to find sessions that teach you how to use software or anything like that. You are going to find sessions that introduce you to neat ideas, methods, etc. ~Kristen
 * PETE&C - February in Hershey**

I have gone in the past. It is not my favorite, since I found PETE&C. It seems to be a conference that is very school to work, career exploration oriented. I am more on the tech integration side of things now. ~Kristen
 * Integrated Learning Conference - November in State College**

Great one and a half day concurrent session conference. I was able to attend four sessions and learned a bunch. Came back inspired to shared! ~Kristen
 * TRETC - November in Cranberry**


 * Robert Morris - April

PBEA - 3rd week in November** This is a great conference for ALL business education teachers! It is offered as a 2-day conference; typically Thursday begins with an evening session along with a tour of a local business. It has been held in Harrisburg/Hershey area for the previous three years with tours of Hersheypark and the arena, the casino, and Milton Hershey Industrial School.

 * Cooperative Education Conference - October in Penn State

Governor's Institute for Entrepreneurship and Financial Education - Summer** Free week now held at Elizabethtown College that provides a multitude of free resources and tons of information for both high school and elementary teachers! Focus is placed mainly on financial education that can definitely incorporate business education curriculum. ~ MBurton
