Comments from the 2009 Retreat:

“ I am a huge fan of this retreat! :) It has benefitted my teaching very much!:) I feel so revived and excited to put more of this to work! Excellent event. Facilities were great. Food was great.” Bobbi B.

“Thanks for a great retreat in Medora. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the interaction with the participants. It was especially refreshing to be in a "cross disciplines" setting.” Mike R.

“I like that family members were allowed to come to the conference. This is very important to me as a member. Also, it is nice that it was held going into a weekend. That way children only miss a couple of days of school.” Mark W.

“I thought the scheduling for the retreat worked well. I never liked those evening sessions at past retreats. As usual the food was great, and I left with some great ideas for the next classes I teach.” Gary A.

“Thanks to all for a grrrreat weekend and a big thank you for allowing our families to travel with us, it was a great teaching-family weekend.” Lance O.
“This was my first year attending Great Teachers. I really had a blast. It was a wonderful time to focus on teaching and to get new ideas to use in the classroom. I loved that we were never arranged according to our disciplines. The benefit was that we got ideas from all different subject areas and disciplines. I am glad the opportunity was made available to bring our families. Good food. Good sessions. Good group.”
Steve G.


“Thank you for another great experience with Great Teachers. I cannot express in words the enthusiasm that I have for this event. This has been something that I consider a "Capstone" for the year in teaching, where I can meet other instructors, gain new ideas, and enjoy other instructors companionship to discuss teaching.

This year was the first year with family at the event. I think this went well, and I recommend that this be done maybe every other year. Great facility... I hope I can go again.” Suzie M.

“As for suggestions, I am mixed on the time frame, I know for many it may have been beneficial to have it overlap with the weekend, however, for some it would work better if it did not interfere with a weekend at this time of year as it means often having a conflict with high school graduations. “ Perry H.


“Thanks for everything, - I had a very enjoyable and beneficial weekend.”
