Curious about Live Curious…?

Live Curious Go Beyond was a professional development event where members of the ASFM staff got to be students for a day, and teachers to other teachers. Through workshops that resemble the centers used in Nursery, educators could choose from a wide variety of topics they wanted to learn about; educational innovation being the center of all conversation.

With a few motivational words from Dr. Adams, as well as from Christian Long, the Keynote Speaker, a weekend filled with intellectual exchanges kicked off, along with Food Trucks for lunch, stands from sponsors, and other amenities for the attendants to enjoy.
