Paul airport (MSP). Hotel suggestions will be announced soon.

* Quotes from Former Attendees:

_"I've been to both PF conferences. Each time I've been inspired and

energized by the attendees and their devotion to relinquishing

responsibility for learning to their students. They embody the notion that

a teacher's role is to create learning experiences that provoke

reflection. Most of all it's a blast to be in the company of folks who

love what they are doing. The evening carousing is a plus!"_

_"_Being able to hear and see the veteran's forms and assessments was

extremely valuable and encouraging. The general un-atmosphere was

refreshing as it involved all in attendance in setting the agenda, leaving

no one out - unless of course they didn't contribute."

"I found the "show and tell" sessions very helpful - having models of

practice and hearing the rational behind the practice informed our next

steps in our program and how we can make PF a strong tool to support those

steps."

"Meeting fellow PBL colleagues was great and getting new ideas and making

network contacts will be very useful this coming school year."

_"Such a great opportunity to be amongst other educators who are really

revolutionizing education."_
