National Board Certified Teachers and other NBPTS stakeholders from across the country will gather at the 2011 NBPTS Conference in Washington, D.C., July 27- 30, 2011, to discuss the latest methods in teaching and learning. The 2011 Conference focuses on technology and the multitude of approaches and tools available to educate the 21st century child. Reboot! Teaching Transformed will challenge attendees on how to use innovative teaching and technology to help advance student learning and engagement, close the achievement gap and move the nation’s education reform agenda forward using the fi ve NBPTS Core Propositions and NBPTS Standards. Attendees will expand their knowledge not only in areas of curriculum and pedagogy but also in engaging and empowering students to help them make changes in their own lives and realize their dreams.
This is your chance to show the nation’s top teachers how your cutting edge teaching and learning programs, products and services can help them achieve these goals. NBCTs — leaders in their field, in their schools and in their school districts — often play a key role in shaping curriculum and purchasing decisions. With the launch of National Board Certifi cation for Educational Leaders, this Conference is also poised to offer potential exposure to principals as well, increasing the depth of your contacts within a school.
Your sponsorship can bring an unprecedented amount of exposure to a unique audience different from attendees at other education-related conferences. These are the nation’s best educators, gathering in one location and interacting around a shared commitment to improving student learning and achievement through effective teaching. With new technology integration— including a first-time-ever ability for teachers to attend online, and pre- and post-Conference opportunities — the potential for exposure reaches far beyond the nearly 1,000 teacher-leaders expected to attend the Conference. This new format gives you the opportunity to increase your exposure as you tap into the 91,000 National Board Certifi ed Teachers a number of times leading up to the Conference as well as interacting face-to-face with the attendees during the actual event.
