\"Screen<\/a><\/b>iNACOL<\/a> is putting the final touches on the iNACOL’s Symposium<\/a> <\/ins> competency education strand of workshops and sessions. \u00a0An incredible group of practitioners (some emphasizing online\/blended learning and others not) are going to be leading sessions. In addition to the formal sessions there will be a CompetencyWorks lounge area near the exhibitor hall that you can use for informal discussions and meet-ups.\u00a0 In fact, we\u2019ll be meeting there Sunday evening during the opening reception just so we can introduce ourselves (thanks to Tom Willis Cornerstone Charter Schools who called me and said we needed this to happen.) The iNACOL Symposium i<\/ins>s a big, exciting meeting, \u00a0so knowing each other\u2019s faces early on will make a huge difference.<\/p>\n
