Annual Fall Conference

Every year we host two teacher conferences.  All Academy centers close and the teachers come together for a day full of learning and inspiration.  They are given the opportunity to share ideas with fellow teachers and stay up-to-date on the latest trends in education.  Here are some pictures from our conference this past Friday.

 Max from our Frog Street Press curriculum made an appearance.

 FALL CONFERENCE TIME!

 Each teacher got an Academy clipboard, pan and stress apple.

 Each teacher got a tote bag, too!

 The room was ready to host almost 350 early childhood educators from all over Middle Tennessee.

 Our motto!

 The opening skit from management had everyone laughing.

 We learned about our company's new vision...PEACE!

 Katie from Branches Ministries talked about how they are there to help Academy teachers with support groups, retreats, classes and more!

 Our keynote speaker, Lisa Murphy, delivered amazing topics and had our teachers loving the day!

 We learned all sorts of stuff!  Like did you know there are 80 types of pre-writing scribbles?!

 Congrats to Ms. Katrina for being awarded the ITERS all star from our center.

 And Ms. Rebecca was the ECERS all star this year!

We ended the day with a speech from our COO, Lesley Hosford.
