Self-Paced (On Your Own) Program
We had some really awesome sessions at NERCVirtual 2020. We want to thank all of our presenters for presenting to K-12 social studies teachers across New England, New York, and New Jersey (and beyond).
One of the benefits of a virtual conference is the ability and opportunity to record and archive many of our keynote sessions, workshops, and webinars, and make it available to teachers who were unable to participate in the sessions in real time.
If you missed NERCVirtual 2020, you can still participate and earn 10 to 20 professional development points (PDPs) by registering to a self-paced (on your own) virtual conference program. You can watch available sessions on your own time and at your own pace through May 2021.
Participate and receive certificate of attendance – FREE / NO CHARGE!!!
Watch any of our pre-recorded keynote, webinar, and workshop sessions at no charge. Simply fill out the session feedback survey at the end of the session to obtain your certificate of attendance for your records. Please note that the certificate of attendance does not entitle PDP hours toward recertification.
