Went to FETC in Orlando with our district team. As an assistant principal I found a lot of value in the leadership and infrastructure strands. Two of our teachers felt the classroom sessions were uneven — some excellent, some basically sales pitches.
Curious whether others had the same experience.
FETC review — great for admins, so-so for classroom teachers

Same here. The workshops you pay extra for were consistently better than the general sessions.
Look at who the presenter is before you pick a session. Practitioner-led sessions were far better than vendor-led ones in my experience.
Agree for admins. The networking with other district leaders alone was worth the trip for me.
