The Primary Conference is an annual teachers’ conference designed specifically to meet the needs of Kindergarten to 3rd grade teachers. Every year, we provide the very best nationally known speakers on a variety of interesting and informative topics: reading, writing, math, science, social studies, movement, music, art, and classroom management—all in one amazing conference.

You can attend the full-day pre-conference and choose from three top-notch national presenters—Dr. Frank Serafini, Jean Blaydes Madigan, or Laureen Reynolds. Or you can choose to attend the conference, where you will hear keynote addresses by Jean Blaydes Madigan, Sharon Taberski, and children’s author Nina Laden, in addition to over 35 breakout sessions with fascinating speakers such as best-selling children’s author Tony Abbott, cartoonist Joe Wos, and “funsmith” Bernie DeKoven. Or, better yet, join us for both the pre-conference and conference (best value)!

Come join us at the Tan-Tar-A Resort on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks from November 20 to November 22, 2008 and let us provide the solutions to all your most troubling teaching problems.
