QM's ship's flag as we prepare to leave port for the 6th Annual Conference, Charting the Course, September 29-October 1 at the Renaissance Harborplace in Baltimore, Maryland! Early Bird registration ends July 23, which means you'll only have nine calendar days to take advantage of reduced rates!

Wondering about this year's K-12 programming? We've got a few examples of some of the great sessions we've lined up for you while you're aboard the Good Ship QM! 

• Quality Matters at the Core: A Roadmap for Collaborative Online Course Development is a conversation offering a snapshot of how the QM K-12 Secondary Rubric provided a foundation for a district-wide initiative aimed at developing high-quality online courses at Albuquerque Public Schools. 
• Dual Credit: Do You Dare? will teach participants which design elements K-12 and higher education courses share and will explore what elements courses should include to facilitate student success at both the K-12 and higher education levels. 
• Invigorate Your Class with Instructional Materials! will show participants how to find engaging, authoritative, appropriate and up-to-date K-12 instructional materials. Best of all, these resources are FREE! You'll explore General Standard 4 and identify ways to find instructional materials to help your course meet Standard 4's Specific Review Standards.

Don't forget to take advantage of Early Bird registration before the July 23 deadline! We'll see you at port ready to set sail September 29!
