In addition to the Grants and Research supported presentations announced via e-blast last week, be sure to add these additional Masters’ Series (MS) classes to your list of “must see” options. You may be asking yourself, “What makes a “Masters Series” workshop or presentation different from the others”?
The Masters Series provide the following consistent elements to ASPE attendees:
- Experienced presenters who are known as experts in their field
- Presenters have been invited by the conference committee to speak about current and relevant topics because of their knowledge
- Content of the presentations reflect accepted standards in SP Education
- The topics target veteran SP educators yet invite growth of any curious members. All are welcome.
