CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SCPOMLE Best Practices Session
The South Carolina Professors of Middle Level Education (SCPOMLE) invite you to submit a proposal to present a “best practices” session on Friday, March 5, 2021. During the virtual conference, SCPOMLE participants will be offered a series of breakout sessions. Each breakout session will last 20 minutes and will include a 10-minute pre-recorded presentation. Each session will include a question and answer/discussion segment.
The Annual Conference Theme “Set the Stage” offers an opportunity for the middle level community to reconvene and reconnect on a virtual platform to discuss shared responsibility to each other and pre-service teachers, share best practices, and design new ways to engage the middle level community.
