Bring your business cards, because you can guarantee that Nelly Networker will be asking if you want to swap cards. Nelly is also really good about following up with you after the Summit to ask you questions about the strategies your organization uses to get teacher buy-in while implementing CLASS. Need an introduction to another educator? Nelly can introduce you!

Are you Nelly Networker? Start your networking early by joining the InterAct Community Facebook group and starting a group discussion.

Just swapped cards with: Awestruck Alycia

Awestruck Alycia hasn’t said much at the Summit, but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t having a good time. In fact, Awestruck Alycia is just so excited to share ideas with others who are trying to implement a new professional development initiative on a budget as small as hers. You’ll find her in the front row of every session taking pictures of every slide. She doesn’t want to miss a thing!

Are you Awestruck Alycia? InterAct is the place for you. You'll be able to network, learn from others, and find solutions to the PD challenges your organization has been facing.

Currently sitting in awe next to: Nancy Notetaker

 

Nancy Notetaker 

You’ll be able to find Nancy Notetaker sitting next to the outlets in each sessions. Why? She’s had her laptop pulled up in every session and is furiously typing everything the presenters have said. If you have to leave early, Nancy Notetaker has got you covered—she’s happy to share her Google Docs folder full of notes with you.

Are you Nancy Notetaker? We’re sharing all the presenters’ slides after the Summit is over, so you won’t miss anything.

Superfan Shayna

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ohmygosh. Was that Dr. Pianta that just walked by?!” Superfan Shayna whispers loudly. Shayna has been a huge proponent of the CLASS tool in her organization since the day she first learned about it. She’s been to multiple trainings and was still super excited to see the trainers milling around by the breakfast bar this morning.

Are you Superfan Shayna? We’ll be announcing our keynote speakers soon. Let us know who you’re dying to meet!

Partytime Patty 

Don’t get Partytime Patty wrong. She came to InterAct for the opportunity to learn about CLASS. Buuuut...she also loves meeting new people and having a good time. Just like a new butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, Patty transforms into a social butterfly as soon as Happy Hour starts on Monday afternoon. Her mantra? When the workday ends, the fun begins!

Are you Partytime Patty? You’ll be excited to hear that there will be lots of time to mingle in the Sheraton’s new outdoor space complete with firepits, bean bag toss games, and more!

Leader Linda 

You might think of Leader Linda as the the keynote or session presenters. That might be true. But she’s also an attendee. She’s the director of a small child care center; she’s a quality assessor with a statewide QRIS program; she’s an education specialist for a child care research & referral agency. Leader Linda is in a little bit of everyone at InterAct. 

Are you Leader Linda? Of course you are! Everyone attending has a CLASS story to share. Everyone has experiences—challenges and success—that they bring to the Summit. Don’t miss out. Register for InterAct today!
