This conference is designed to showcase the expertise of our local teachers and provide an opportunity for professional development to engage, collaborate and connect with area professionals in Northern Illinois. The Small District Conference was born from a belief that small schools can do more when we put our heads and resources together. While we may be small, we can be mighty! Participating districts include Kinnikinnick, Hononegah, Prairie Hill, Rockton, Shirland, the Winnebago County Special Education Cooperative, and Winnebago with additional presenters from the Regional Office of Education, Learning Technology Center, Belvidere CUSD100, and many others.
