Attending a Conference?
A big conference can be the best experience of your professional life -- or a big waste of time! Education World's "Principal Files" team shared their experiences in an article, Before You Fly Off to That Conference… Have You Thought of Everything?. Included: Tips to help you plan for -- and get the most out of -- the next conference you attend.
