Ideas for 2019 WATESOL Conference Theme by betsy wong https://padlet.com/betsylwong/m7pgn1y7yp84 In 2020, we'll have a "50th Anniversary" WATESOL Conference theme, likely related to professional development. In 2018, we highlighted community and collaboration. For 2019, what about something relating to literacy itself - and possibly numeracy and/or technology?

Then, for the keynote, we could do a panel from several past presidents of WATESOL who also impacted the profession (e.g., Jodi Crandall, Brock Brady, Karen Taylor, Heather Tatton-Harris), and have a moderated discussion with Q&A at the end. Just some thoughts, and my apologies for expressing them a bit late. -Polina https://padlet.com/betsylwong/m7pgn1y7yp84/wish/326900856 2019-02-01 22:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/betsylwong/m7pgn1y7yp84/wish/326900856
