 Looking forward to the 2025 conference is becoming more and more exciting as each day passes.
As of current, breakout session proposals are now being accepted, registration is open, and the Keynote Speaker has been announced! It’s difficult to believe that we are arriving at the midway point between both last year’s and this year’s conference! If you’re someone who has never been to a KATE Annual Conference, or if you are someone who has had too many emails come through since then that you’ve forgotten what happened at the conference, it’s always nice to have a refresher. Especially when those refreshers come from new voices and new perspectives on the situation. Pre-service teachers in Dr. Katie Cramer’s English Education program at Wichita State University transformed their experiences into thoughtful blog posts, reflecting on the conference’s wealth of engagement opportunities, learning experiences, and takeaways.
