The 2017 version of the MELT (MRVED Educators Learning Together) conference will be held on January 16, 2017 at Lac qui Parle Valley High School. From the feedback we received from the MELT last year, you will see some minor changes:
- Passing time will be lengthened from 10 to 15 minutes.
- This is to allow our presenters to have ample time to set up.
- This also allows people to visit the restroom or concessions between sessions and still have enough time to make it to their next session.
- Lunch will be shortened to 45 minutes.
- You spoke, we listened.
- Concessions will be available in the hallways between sessions (pop and candy).
- You will get the session brochure a couple days prior to being able to register.
- This will allow you to go through all the sessions and choose what is best for you without being rushed to register.
- The brochure will be released on December 8, 2016. Registration will open at 7:30 a.m. on December 12, 2016. Your building principal will receive the registration link and send it to all staff the morning of December 12.
- Registration will close on December 22, 2016 at 3:00 p.m.
This will be the largest MELT ever as we are expecting 650 people. So it is so important to register by December 22, 2016 as the number of people attending fuels a lot of additional decisions that are made over the Christmas break with respect to that day - room assignments, lunch, bussing, etc.
