AALPD Preconference a Huge Success A big "Thank You" to all of our preconference participants. This year's preconference event brought educators together from across the nation. Roundtable discussion revolved around Policy, Advocacy, Communities of Practice, Evaluation and other relevant topics in PD. If you missed this year's Preconference, don't worry. We'll be posting handouts in the next few weeks.
