Ahhh… Kiawah
Island… Ten miles of gorgeous beach
and an amazing wildlife habitat… It’s
been several years since I attended the SCCTE Conference there, and I just
returned from an inspiring couple of days spent with my ESL and English teacher
friends. We may not have seen much of
the beach, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time together and learned a lot to
bring back to our classrooms. We enjoyed guest speakers Penny Kittle, ReLeah
Lent, and Kelly Gallagher. We even got a
few free books to bring back to our classrooms.
