Form.
The "Quest" series
of conferences (this is #14) have become internationally known for outstanding
keynote, panel, and workshop presentations provided at a most reasonable
registration cost. Up to 1000 presenters and participants from England,
Scotland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, the United States, the
Netherlands and of course Canada have united at Quest for the common
purpose of improving the achievement of all students.
This year's Quest
Conference, entitled The Quest for Improved Student Achievement: Designing
and Building Cultures for Deeper Learning has commitments from Michael Fullan
(Canada), Tony MacKay (Australia), Alma Harris (England), Douglas Reeves (United
States) and other renowned educators who will provide the research, theory and
proven practice that provide registrants with opportunities to learn, reflect,
discuss and respond to strategies that shift culture to deepen
learning.
Please consider your
involvement at Quest as one of our cherished workshop presenters. You will
find the experience extremely rewarding.
If you have any
questions about this proposal please contact the Quest Conference
