Please

40 breakout sessions facilitated by national, regional and local
experts.
2026 Conference Theme: "The Blueprint for Belonging: Building Classrooms Where Every Identity Drives Excellence"
Description: Belonging
is the foundation of learning. This professional development series
provides a universal framework for fostering high-engagement classrooms.
We explore how to understand every student's background (cultural,
linguistic, and personal) as a cognitive superpower.
Whether you are supporting a multilingual learner or a student seeking
their place in the community, you will learn to build relational
infrastructure through joyful and rigorous classroom practices. Join us
to explore school and classroom relationships as well as how to partner
with families as the ultimate experts in their children’s success.
