Eddie’s Keynote Presentation
Here’s what people had to say about the 2019 conference!
We really enjoyed your [Paula McMahon’s] session at MAWA’s conference this year. In fact I enjoyed and took something away, whether it be resources or something to think about and try to implement, from every session I attended this year. By far one of the best MAWA conferences I have attended. ~ Secondary Teacher, Eastern Goldfields College
Keynote and workshop with Penny Crossland were most useful. I am going to teach my students Numero and implement some of Penny Crossland’s strategies. ~ Early Years Teacher, St Mary’s Primary School
I believe that MAWA listened and helped secondary teachers come together and discuss writing investigations with the new guidelines from SCSA. ~ Secondary Teacher, Willetton Senior High School
