Here's What Our Attendees Are Saying About the Conference!
- I loved the sessions. The most difficult part was deciding which one to go to because there were so many great ones.
- I enjoy the rich amount of content, which we need for the common core classes.
- The NCHE conferences have always had the best combination of college professors, public history places and high school/elementary school teachers presenting. I have always left the NCHE conference with more resources than I could possibly use.
- This is the best hands-on teaching/sharing experience I have had at a conference.
- I love this conference! I always learn something new and I leave with new lessons, reference materials and ideas for the classroom and grant writing.
- We have been participating in the conference for nine years because of the quality of the organization and the goals of the conferen.
- As a future teacher, I had a fantastic time attending and participating in the conference.
