Oregon Council of Teachers of English presents the NW Regional NCTE Conference MARCH 1 and 2nd, 2014 at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Portland.  On March 3 there will be a post conference workshop focusing on technology and literacy and of course the common core.
Yong Zhao will be a Keynote speaker.  I am most excited about Jack Berckemeyer.  I saw him at the AMLE conference in Portland last November.  He was so funny and engaging with the audience.  He made everyone in the audience (mostly educators) feel appreciated through his humor and realistic view of every position that is involved in the daily life in education.
