Last week a few of our teachers attended the Elevate Your Classroom Conference in Las Vegas, where they learned alongside educators from across the country and gathered new ideas to enhance student learning.

Throughout the conference, teachers were inspired by keynote speakers including Ron Clark, Mr. Greg, Taylor Cassidy, and Gerry Brooks, who share powerful messages about student engagement, relationship-building, inclusive classrooms, and the joy of teaching.

Teachers also participated in breakout sessions focused on literacy, writing, mathematics, science, classroom management, STEM, technology and AI, and social-emotional learning. Each session provided practical, research-based strategies and classroom-ready resources that can be implemented immediately.

They look forward to bringing these new ideas back to the classrooms as they continue to provide engaging, high-quality learning experiences for all of our students!
