Uncover ways to navigate rapid change, adapt to shifting social dynamics, and integrate educational technology to help students and educators succeed.
Creating a climate of growth and support for professionals, amplifying teacher and student voices to build a strong school culture, and creating financially sustainable models that all help schools successfully operate to serve their communities.
Gain insight into delivering a positive focus on our passionate educators, successful students, and incredible schools to gain more buy-in and support from families and the community.
Explore holistic support for students through community resources and family relationships to build more success in our schools.
Examine big ideas that can redefine and reshape K-12 education, and how we, as charter advocates, can have an impact on the education policies that impact our schools and students to lead innovation for the next century of education.
