We exited to share our Round Table Sessions, happening for the first time at the 2021 CEA Convention! We have received many comments in the feedback from our CEA members expressing a desire to talk with other Christian educators who teach similar classes at different schools. We listened and we’ve responded. All of our breakout sessions from 11:55 - 12:55 on Thursday will be Round Table Sessions. We will provide a space for all of the middle school science teachers to meet, for all of the 3rd grade Spanish Immersion teachers to meet, for all of the high school art teachers to meet etc. In fact, we are providing 43 different round table sessions and we are confident that you can find one that fits you. Each round table session will be led by a facilitator and we are looking forward to some very helpful conversations to happen.
