First I've been able to network and get to know fellow educators outside the confines of my district. A shout out to the West Fargo teachers who always know how to have fun and seem to welcome GF teachers with gusto.
Third, the conference is just plain fun. Security Ryberg made sure from the onset that the tone of this event was rooted in laughter. I appreciate that. English teachers are a fun bunch, really, we are!
Finally, this conference never stops challenging me and teaching me new ideas or showing me new ways to approach the same material.
This year, due to administrative support, GF brought more teachers than I can remember. That's a good thing. However, not enough English teachers take advantage of this event. And that's a bad thing.
So if you're an English teacher, or any kind, actually, check out your state conference and attend. Invest in yourself. It can make all the difference.
