As an instructional coach, you do great things with your staff. You’ve got experience, knowledge, ideas, strategies– and resources for days. Why not share them by submitting a proposal to present?
What is the Conference for Educational Coaches (CEC)?
The Conference for Educational Coaches (CEC) was formally known as the Campus Technology Specialist Academy (CTSA). It will convene instructional and technology coaches in partnership with IDEA (Illinois Digital Educators Alliance) to answer the question “What are the most effective ways to promote positive change in teaching and learning?”
The conference will be held on October 12-13, 2022. It will be a hybrid event, meaning it will have both face-to-face and online components. The face-to-face conference will take place at TCEA Headquarters in Austin, Texas.
