PORTSMOUTH, N.H. and LAS VEGAS, April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Reaching and teaching kindergartners at every stage of development will be the focus of a dedicated strand of learning sessions at the SDE 2018 National Conference.

The 2018 National Conference will take place July 9-13, 2018, in Las Vegas, NV.
"Kinders arrive in the classroom with a variety of diverse learning needs. I Teach K! delivers the strategies teachers need to effectively and confidently meet them all.
