Educator Symposium and Professional Development Workshop Summer 2023
Dates: July 10-14, 2023
Location: Martis Valley Campus in Truckee, CA.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our inaugural educator symposium in the picturesque town of Truckee, CA this summer. The theme for this year’s speaker event and professional development is “Failure by Design.” This theme centers on the idea that by engaging young people in real-world challenges and opportunities, we can increase student engagement, build character, and promote ethical learning.
Our ultimate goal for this annual symposium is to inspire positive change in education across the country so that all young people can thrive. We hope that participants will leave the event feeling energized, having shared their work and experiences, and gained valuable knowledge, confidence, and tools to enhance education in their schools, classrooms, and organizations. Join us in Tahoe this summer for an unforgettable experience!
