 Hi, my name is Tracy Takahama-Spinosa. Thank you for agreeing to participate in this flipped conference. Unlike regular conferences where you go to a webinar to connect yourself and then sort of maybe halfway tune out because you don't have to participate, a flipped conference is very different. Like a flipped classroom, there are three basic steps. The first is that you're going to be sent a link to a pre-encounter video. So we'd like you to watch that. We hope it sparks some curiosity and that you send in questions and comments before hand. This will allow us to do the second step, which is to construct a synchronous encounter with you based on your questions, your comments, your concerns, and this will help us focus a lot. It'll also give us the chance to go deeper into many of these issues and to have the time to perhaps go into breakout rooms and have some smaller group discussions around the topic and bring them back to the larger group to try to come up with some consensus on some of these issues. So please do watch the pre-encounter video and send in questions before hand. Third, the final follow-up, as all of you know and a lot of great research out there, Linda Darling-Hammond for one, really flags the deficiencies of general teacher's professional development. One-off encounters of just a couple hours really have very little impact on what teachers actually do in class and how their students really learn. And so what we're hoping to do with this is change this up, extend the experience by first asking at the end of the synchronous encounter to take a little bit of time to do a reflection. Three, two, one. Three things that you might not have thought about before. Two things that you're now curious about and one thing that you might just change. If you send in your three, two, one, to us, we do promise to help you extend that experience. So the two things you say you might be curious about, we'll try to hook you up with some of our bundles. Bundles are curated mini-libraries of topics. So if you say I'm deeply interested in learning more about flipping, for example, and you send us that as part of your message, we will send you a link to a bundle so that you can continue to research that particular idea yourself. Why would we do that? Because we know that transfer is really the one way that we can prove that anybody's really learned anything. And so if this information can't be used in a new context, was it really learned or is it really usable knowledge? That's a big question. So we're trying to make sure that these conferences really walk the talk and it's not just about theory, but actually experiencing what a good flipped environment might look like. So I'm really happy that you've agreed to experiment with this particular format. And I'm looking forward to seeing you. Thanks.
