Wrap-Up & Adjournment

The landscape for passing school tax issues is changing. Thanks to a perfect storm of converging political and economic realities, how we structure, deliver and pay for education in our public schools has reached a tipping point. While many things will be in flux as we move forward, one thing, however, is certain. The need to pass school tax issues is not going away. As the financial watering hole continues to dry up, we’ll have no choice but to turn to our local taxpayers for help. This workshop focuses on how to harness the power of public engagement to build a clear and compelling case for maintaining local support for our schools.

2018 Educators Connect for Success

Shaping Future-Ready Learners

As educators, we are charged with ensuring students have educational experiences that prepare them to become lifelong learners and contributors in the 21st century. Now more than ever, these experiences must not only provide for the acquisition of rigorous academic content, but must also be more intentional in cultivating skills, mindsets, and literacies essential for students to become lifelong learners and contributors in this complex, rapidly changing world.

The world is a different place for today’s graduates, requiring school systems to ENVISION , EMPOWER , and ENGAGE .

This year’s conference learning strands reflect those ideals.
