Opportunities
Let
your district chair know that you would be willing to be a
session
facilitator at conference. This takes little of your
time and it's a huge assist in making the sessions go smoothly. Contact
your district chair by Sept. 30.
What
is The Curriculum Fair? Each year, the
FEMEA Board of Directors selects and invites accomplished
teachers to present innovative ideas in the annual Elementary
Curriculum Fair. To be selected or invited to participate in
the Curriculum Fair is indeed an honor, as well as a responsibility.
Each participant selects a lesson plan or curricular
idea of particular interest and prepares a corresponding presentation
board and handouts. The participant presents his/her ideas
with a smile and sharing attitude during the designated Curriculum
Fair time. Conference attendees visit the Curriculum Fair to
glean new ideas to use with their own students.
What
is the Resource Room? There is a special room set up
at conference that allows teachers to display resources that
they have found useful. You can find all kinds of resources
there including teacher created and/or purchased resources. Volunteers
offer their resources for other teachers to peruse. The
room, when open, is always staffed by one of our awesome district
chairpersons.
The
FEMEA Professional Development video collection, in the process
of
being converted to DVD, is available for members to check out. Download Media Library
Request Form here. Print
it and send it to Anita Travaligno (contact information is
