"A Journey Through the Middle"
March 19-20, 2010
Boise, Idaho
This year’s conference will be held in the big city of BOISE! Conferences in Boise are always well attended. We are very excited to feature amazing sessions focusing on the topics which matter most to middle level educators. As experts in your fields, we encourage our members to consider presenting. Some of the most popular sessions are those done by groups of teachers working together to share programs and projects that have worked for them NOW is the time to start preparing to attend. The IMLA conference is an excellent use of professional development funds.
