The Bellmawr School District hosted "The Science of Reading" conference today, and not only teachers attended, but a board member and administrators participated as well. Continuing professional development shows a commitment to students and the desire to grow as an educator. It was nice to see so many teachers in attendance.
We would like to thank our presenters and look forward to applying our new knowledge in the classroom. We also appreciate the vendors who made it possible for teachers to attend.
