This spring, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) will continue to serve as a site for the Multi-County Institute Days where over 300 Illinois educators will visit campus to engage in professional learning. This FREE event is open to all Illinois educators including classroom teachers, specialists, administrators, and other school personnel. This year, IMSA will host sessions with a focus on 6th-12th Grade research, math, science, engineering, and technology while also including workshops on topics related to experiential learning, equity, history and social sciences. We look forward to welcoming presenters and educators from around Illinois to share their knowledge and instructional practices! Participants that attend the entire conference and fulfill all ISBE required tasks are eligible for 5.0 hours of professional development credits.
