During the opening plenary, ACS Superintendent Larry McIlvain and NESA Executive Director Maddy Hewitt welcomed delegates and introduced FTI speakers. This year we are celebrating 50 years of NESA, and to mark this milestone, two videos were shown of students and educators in NESA schools singing "Happy Birthday" to NESA.
NESA educators from around the region attended this in-depth training event. NESA thanks Superintendent McIlvain and his incredible faculty and staff for their support, planning, and on-the-ground organization that made the FTI such a valuable professional learning experience.
