UMass Lowell's Inn & Conference Center
Lowell, MAThis is what attendees had to say about Rick and the last conference...
Wow! This conference was outstanding! Rick is dynamic and totally engaging. The ideas and info are already percolating in our 8th grade team. We are planning to try something new, soon.
This was my first time ever being at a NELMS conference and it was a very enjoyable experience. I can't wait to go back to school and share some stuff wth my colleagues and begin planning motivating lessons!
This was the best conference I have ever attended. I can't wait to try the strategies/ideas.
