Spring Practitioners Conference
March 7 & 8, 2019
New this year - Our keynote speaker, Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, will be spending all day Friday with us! She is a dynamic and impassioned play advocate, specializing in authentic assessment. Her engaging, hands-on presentations make the connection between mindfulness and assessment. One day spent with Kristie will give every practitioner, birth on up, useful tips and strategies to take with you. Not only this, but Kristie gives every participant, a web-based landing page of all of her resources she shares. Make sure to bring your laptop or tablet to use during the conference! Register here!
