Each year at Teacher Camp we suggest articles that participants may read that will offer insight into the invited speaker's talk, and engender conversation at lunch and throughout the day of camp. Below are this year's recommendations and suggestions. Participants are invited to read the articles below that most pertain to their particular teaching situation.
