This email confirms your registration for the second annual California Core Knowledge conference.  I hope that you enjoy the conference and will experience a beneficial and rewarding day.  Please invite your friends and co-workers who may not have registered.  We will welcome them on Wednesday and take care of their paperwork that day.  Personal checks or cash can be used for the economic $59 registration fee.

 

DIRECTIONS:  The conference is being held on the campus of William Jessup University.  Maps are included below.  If you would like specific directions from your location, you can find the details at www.mapquest.com/ or http://www.jessup.edu/about/directions/.  Parking is free.

 

REGISTRATION:  Registration will open at 7:45 with a complimentary continental breakfast provided.  We will have labels posted on some tables to assist you with networking and meeting others with similar interests.  If you have any specific questions or concerns which you would like publicized, there is a short form available at the registration desk.  If you complete this information, we will then mention your interest/concern/query during the welcome and ask anyone with information to find you. 

 

SCHEDULE-AT-A-GLANCE and SESSION DESCRIPTIONS:  These will be posted at www.ckcalifornia.org by June 15.  You will also receive a copy in the  packet of information provided when you check in at the conference.  Based on feedback from last year’s attendees, breakout sessions have been shortened to 50 minutes and we have added additional demonstrations of classroom lessons.  We have excellent guest speakers and have planned the day to meet the needs of educators working with students Pre-K through middle school, administrators, and parents.

 

FOCUS ON NETWORKING:  One of the major objectives for this conference is to build a strong foundation for future relationships between those of us who are using Core Knowledge every day.  Break out sessions are scheduled to encourage networking with others who work with similar aged students, and presenters have been encouraged to welcome questions and participation wherever possible.
