Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice
November 3rd & 4th, 2006
Palace Hotel
San Francisco, California

Our first trip to the West Coast was a success! Participants learned about writing and reading strategies, discussed issues of RTI and transition, and networked with other professionals from all over the country. Several awards were given at the luncheon, including the Marva Collins Diversity Award and the Jeannette Fleischner award. Several lucky attendees received cash awards and other materials. We are all looking forward to the next conference in San Antonio!
