Reflect. Reimagine. Rejoice: Supporting Excellence in New Teachers

 

 

Ignite Teacher Leadership

 

“Ignite” presentations offer fast-paced idea sharing to spark conversation and innovation. Ten experts on teacher leadership will discuss ways we can do a better job of strengthening teacher leadership at every point in an educator's career, from the moment young people first consider careers in teaching to the wide variety of teacher and school leadership roles they may eventually grow into. This quick-hitting session will be followed by deeper conversations to explore and expand on these ideas, and together we'll envision a statewide ecosystem that nurtures, develops, and supports teacher leaders throughout their professional journeys.
