CFF+TEACHER's+EXPO

=CFF Teacher Tech Expo=

__**August 18 is the date**__. At last month’s CFF Regional Coaches & Principals Network meeting is was decided suggested that CFF schools collaborate in the production of a “Tech Expo” to kick-off the 2008-2009 school year. At this time we are soliciting presenters for this experience so we ask that you encourage teachers in your schools to share their talents. **Click here** for the form that's been developed to collect presentation offerings. **Data will be collected through noon June 6, 2008.** The concept for the day ... 1. teachers who have been implementing CFF technology initiatives showcase their experiences in a presentation format where others can see examples of what’s being done (sessions will be 75 minutes each); 2. participants have the opportunity to attend multiple sessions (up to 4) to experience a variety of models; and 3. everyone gets an opportunity to network with colleagues who share their interests and/or forge new collaborations for themselves and their students.

8:00 – 8:30 Registration & Refreshments 8:30 – 9:00 Welcome and Tone-setting for the day 9:00 – 10:15 Session One 10:30 – 11:45 Session Two 11:50 – 12:30 Lunch 12:30 – 1:45 Session Three 1:50 – 3:05 Session Four** Here's a list of suggestions to consider for presentations - these are ONLY suggestions. The success (and strength) of the day hinges on teachers learning from and with teachers. There is no expectation that presenters have ‘perfected’ the project/lessons/units they present, but only that they’re willing to open their ideas to others and provide a forum for exploration/extension. CFF Coaches are also encouraged to present/co-present sessions. Our colleagues in Southern Tioga SD - **Mansfield HS** - have offered their facilities as host for this event. However, it may be necessary for participating districts to make equipment available to their teachers who wish to present sessions. Once the topics have been identified we will determine the resources available and the needs for each session.
 * The day will begin with a brief orientation/welcome and the participants will then attend the sessions of their choice.
