10th Anniversary of the Future Teachers Conference

Honoring Future and Current Teachers

The Future Teachers Conference is a day-long symposium designed to give high school and college students, of all backgrounds, a look at education today and the inspiration to pursue teaching as a profession. Though past conferences were focused solely on future teachers, this year’s conference will also have something to motivate and enlighten current teachers as well.

Students, teachers, administrators, and other educational professionals from local community colleges, four-year universities, and K-12 schools will attend this event. It includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and a chance to meet and network with many current and future educators.

Cost $30.00

Dr. Harry K. Wong

Dr. Harry K.Wong, Ed.DThis year, Dr. Harry K. Wong will be our featured guest and speaker. Dr. Wong is, arguably, one of the country’s most famous motivational speakers on the topics of education and classroom teaching. He will help us understand that the single greatest effect on student achievement is the effectiveness of the teacher. Effective teachers have classrooms that are structured, organized, and consistent. Dr. Wong will demonstrate what he and others do to ensure student success. His techniques have been successfully adopted by thousands of educators across the country, and he is credited with renewing entire schools and rescuing countless frustrated teachers through his common sense, research-based, no-cost approach to managing classrooms.

FTC History

Each May beginning in the year 2000, the Teachers of Tomorrow club has held an annual Future Teachers Conference. During these conferences, local educators present their best lessons and/or advice for those interested in teaching as a career. The daylong event includes a wide range of breakout sessions on various topics as well as breakfast and lunch.

All of the Future Teachers Conferences at Green River have been huge successes, with 100 – 200 participants from community colleges, high schools, and 4-year schools.

Project TEACH students are encouraged to become members of the planning committee for this event. Planning begins each fall as part of the Teachers of Tomorrow club. Contact club officers or advisors for more information.
