About Franchesca Warren

For fifteen years Franchesca taught English/Language Arts in two urban districts in Atlanta, Georgia, and Memphis, Tennessee. Increasingly frustrated with decisions being made about public education from people who were not in the classroom, in 2012 she decided to start a blog about what it was really like to teach in public schools. In the last four years, The Educator's Room has grown to become the premiere source for resources, tools, and strategies for all things teaching and learning. To learn more about Franchesca Warren's work, please visit www.franchescalanewarren.com.

Are you interested in presenting at our first annual conference?  Can you recall the path that led you to become a teacher?  Do you demonstrate your expertise and encourage fellow educators to do the same?   If so, please head over to our “Call for Presenters” section and enter your proposal for our first conference in 2014!

The Educator’s Room is holding its first annual conference in beautiful Atlanta, Georgia on June 25- 27, 2014 under the theme, “Empowering Educators to be the Experts in Education”.  This conference will be three packed days of sessions of  fellow educators  showing their expertise in any of the three strands that our conference will focus on this year.

Presentation proposals must be submitted under one of the three thematic strands that characterize next year’s conference. Each strand explores a different aspect of our  profession.

 

The strands for 2014 are:

  1. Instruction and Curriculum 
    Every year there are more educational “buzz words” about what increases level of teacher effectiveness. However, the best way to help teachers is to let them learn from fellow “Master Teachers”. These sessions will focus on engaging, relating and empowering fellow educators in strong  instructional strategies for teaching and learning. 
  2. Educational Reform With so much changing in education it’s important for educators to be in the discussion of educational reform. These sessions will focus on engaging educators in the political process despite being in the classroom.
  3. Technology in Education With the invention of Facebook, Twitter, Edmodo, Google Plus, etc. many teachers are overwhelmed with how to use technology to engage their students and make their daily activities less tedious. These sessions will focus on empowering teachers and understanding the new technology. 
  4.  New Teacher Support With an estimated half of all new teachers quitting within the first five years, it's time to really support new teachers both in the classroom and outside the classroom. These sessions will focus on giving new teachers support of the basics  (lesson planning, classroom management, grading, content tips, etc) and the issues that aren't discussed in education programs such as teacher burnout, teacher's rights, etc.

Session Formats

At this conference we are al about making sure the sessions are interactive and “hands on”. As educators we understand how frustrating it can be to sit in a session and listen to someone talk to us. So we’ve differentiated our conference sessions! 

Please read the following descriptions carefully and apply for the format most appropriate to your topic. The approximate number per strand of each type of session is indicated.
Workshop (Full day or half day)

Workshops are in-depth sessions that actively develop specific professional competencies and have widespread potential for implementation.  Most  workshops are scheduled on Wednesday, June 25, 2014,. While they can be a full day (6 hours) they will more than likely be a half day (3.5 hours) in length.  All workshops are supported solely by participant fees and are subject to cancellation due to insufficient enrollment.

Symposium (90 minutes)


Symposiums are panel discussions presenting different perspectives on  topics in education or related to one (or more) strands.  Panels will include a minimum of three persons  and a moderator, together representing a minimum of three different organizations.

Hands-on Presentation (60 minutes)


Hands-on sessions provide participants with an opportunity to engage in teaching and learning activities and/or strategies about a particular content area.

Traditional Presentation (50-60 minutes)

Traditional presentations focus on a single topic or program, typically including a talk or media presentation followed by a short discussion.

Roundtable Discussion (30 minutes)

Roundtable discussions are informal presentations that emphasize spirited discussion between the presenter(s) and session attendees. Presenters start the discussion by sharing information about the program/question/instructional strategy they wish to explore, and then open discussion for input and exchange of ideas.

Please fill out the form below to submit your proposal!
