Who should attend?
All educators are welcome, but active KDP members--undergraduate, graduate, and professionals (especially new teachers)--should attend a regional workshop! The workshops are an opportunity for KDP members to meet face-to-face with one another and make professional connections throughout the area. It is not only an occasion for professional development, but also a wonderful chance for students within chapters to meet future colleagues and like-minded peers.
