It's that time of year, and we're gearing up for IGKNIGHT 2018 on November 19th! This day wouldn't be possible without the expertise of our staff and their willingness to share with their colleagues. As proposals rolled in we started to see a theme emerge, that of risk taking and being willing to try new things in the classroom for the benefit of their students. We are so grateful that our presenters are willing to take a risk to share the many things they've been learning and trying this year. I'd challenge each and every one of you to embrace that spirit of risk taking and walk away from IGKNIGHT 2018 with one new thing you are hoping to try from one of the almost 40 sessions you can choose from!
We are once again hosting our conference on the Kaneland High School campus and will be using both the High School and Meredith Road facilities. Everyone will begin their day at 8:00 AM in the KHS auditorium with this year's keynote speaker--Myron Dueck. (Don't forget, it's not too late to ask Mike or Sarah for a copy of his book, Grading Smarter Not Harder, and join an in-district online book study through Canvas to earn 1 hour of in-district credit!)
Lunch will be on your own from 11:35-1:00. We will share more details if we are able to procure any on-site options. As an added bonus this year, we are hoping to bring in vendors and agencies that might be helpful to you and ask them to set up booths in the cafeteria during lunch. Again, watch for more info as we are able to finalize those options.
Finally, this year we will be using the Sched platform for registration, just like you did for the Kane County Institute Day last year. You can find our event page by visiting igknight2018a.sched.com. Remember those SWEET Igknight trucker hats some of our Igknighters were wearing at our back to school Academy 2.0 day? Well, anyone who has registered for their sessions by 10/31 will be entered in a drawing to win one of our 100 remaining IgKnight hats!
