About the Event

Join us for the 12th Annual Excellence Through Education Conference, a premier event designed to empower and equip school districts, sites, and community partners with evidence-based practices to address imbalances within systems, structures, and practices.

Featuring the theme "Elevate Our Impact," this year’s conference will focus on the following critical topics:

Asset Framing: Embrace a narrative that highlights individuals’ strengths and aspirations, fostering a positive and empowering environment.

Administrative Leadership: Explore leadership strategies that strengthen all systems, structures, and practices to promote increased performance outcomes.

MTSS Support (Multi-Tiered System of Supports): Learn about comprehensive support systems tailored to meet the unique needs of all students.

Integrated Educational Framework: Discover how to create cohesive and aligned educational environments that support every learner.

Family and Community Engagement: Engage with innovative strategies to build strong partnerships with families and communities, enhancing student success.

Join us for an inspiring and collaborative experience as we work together to align systems and create sustainability in educational environments for all. There will be sessions to support how leaders create conditions for MTSS success. Districts and sites are encouraged to bring their MTSS teams to gather needed information from the specially tailored learning sessions.
