We wanted to thank everyone involved in the NABT conference this year — what a great experience! We sponsored the International Programs: Biology Around the World event, and we were very happy with the way it turned out. We had some amazing speakers, and would like to thank Jackie McLaughlin and Dr. Kim Cleary Sadler for their support and help in organizing this event. We even had a presentation all the way from Ecuador (via Skype) from John Moore and Gustavo Chacón.
What we were most thrilled about, however, was the exchange that took place among the educators. It was great to provide an open forum where they could discuss their experiences abroad, as well as hosting foreign educators and interacting with students in different countries.
Another highlight of the conference was the chance to talk to some amazing educators and begin planning some academic and professional development programs with them. We thought it was a great opportunity to talk about professional development travel and were happy to find that the educators we spoke to felt the same way we do about it — it's an essential part of being an educator! We couldn't agree more.
