innovate: explore the best of education and imagine what the future could be
Educators across our region and state are experimenting with groundbreaking practices that are shaping futures and redefining the way students learn. Join us at #innovate24 for an insider's look into these transformative strategies and learn from nationally known keynote speakers Matt Miller and Leena Baksi McLean.
From practical to aspirational – you’ll find a range of ideas – some ready for immediate implementation and others that will push your thinking. Experience conference strands on culture, design, equity, leadership, technology and wellness.
Innovation doesn’t stop with the content, choose how you learn best – 30-minute quick hit sessions, 60-minute exploration sessions and 90-minute deep-dive sessions. Experience the interactive Exhibitor Hall, Podcast Row and self-paced Learning Opportunities.
Innovation takes all educators working together. If you’re a leader at any level, teacher of any content/grade, library media specialist, counselor, coach or director, #innovate24 is for you!
