NYSCATE Preview

---

     It’s my third year at NYSCATE, and I am so excited to say they have entrusted me with8 different sessions! It seems like a bunch, but I think they bring value and will be fun to bring to NY teachers. I want to take this blog to preview the sessions that will be there. 
    This blog also is not just for New York teachers. If you are not at NYSCATE, you can simply become a Bow Tie Member, and you can have access to ALL my presentation resources. If you’re a conference organizer, you can just email me at bigguyinabowtie@gmail.com for access.
