The strands look good to me, but might I suggest we say
Research/Practices that work

I suggest no more than 6 strands for this small conference. I suggest combining "Policy" with "Leadership." I am not sure what "Learning Opportunities Beyond Traditional" means. This could be included in "Practices/Research That Work." Sam

I agree with Sam—six strands are a good number for our conference. I like the combination of Leadership and Policy. I would also suggest changing the strand Essential Literacy Skills to Digital Age Literacy. enGuage lists the following litercies in this category: Basic, scientific, economic, technological, visual, information, multicultural and global awareness. I’d like to do a session on this for the conference—I haven’t yet filled out a form.

I agree with these thoughts. Could #6. MSBO Certification be removed and handled more as a general brochure statement about certification (why, criteria, etc) with a footnote under each session/strand detailing which MSBO certification it meets a requirement for?

I believe each of these sessions should or do meet a criteria of certification. Yes?
