The results speak for themselves...
"The CAFS Conference was an awesome experience for me. The presenters were very professional and engaging. They enhanced my knowledge, confidence and skills to inspire my students to do the best they can in this subject. Thank you for an excellent conference and I'm looking forward to future opportunities to develop my teaching skills in CAFS."
Leonie Cook (CAFS Teacher)
"The CAFS Conference was more than I expected. The guest speakers were informative and passionate about their work. They shared valuable insights and real world application and strategies. As always, Kelly's passion and knowledge shone through. I really appreciated the sharing of resources and ideas. Usually PD's tend to be overwhelming with information that, realistically, does not translate into classroom application. This one was different; we had time to think and assess the information. The guests shared activities that are user friendly and will enhance student understanding of core ideas. Looking forward to the next one."
