After you submit the registration form, you will receive confirmation that you have registered. Please send that to Loriann.Maugeri(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Loriann.Maugeri@qc.cuny.edu> so Lori knows to pay for you. Since this conference is for K-8 teachers, it is important that you select workshops that will be of interest to you. Grade levels are listed for each workshop.

Then, click on the second worksheet tab to learn what each job entails. Check for updates and changes to the list between now and the event date. Notify me immediately if your name is not on the list, your job assignment is not explained or in conflict with another job assigned to you, or if you cannot perform your assigned duties. In addition to the assigned jobs, all TIME 2000 students are responsible for "Crowd Control" and "Food." Please read those job descriptions on the attached excel file (second tabbed worksheet). When you are between jobs, you should attend the keynote address and/or workshops.
