About this Event
Join us for The Educator Academy’s annual educator conference, The Summit. Each year our programming creates space to recognize all the good happening in education while also envisioning an even better future in education.
This year’s conference theme is . We will focus on the choices educators make when conditions aren’t perfect and solutions aren’t easy. Together, we’ll celebrate our wins and sit with our challenges, because both teach us something worth carrying forward.
At The Educator Academy, we believe courage is the ally of progress. We hope you’ll join us this year at The Summit, where we will collectively build the courage and skills to meet the moment, reflect, and grow.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 20th, to learn alongside local educators, build real skills through interactive breakout sessions, and connect with the education community at large."
