Date:  May 19

Time:  9:00am - 11:00am

Location: Administrative Center

In March, 2020 education was transformed, and educators were asked to make that transformation happen. We re-imagined teaching with no advanced warning. As we now re-emerge from the pandemic, it is time to thrive once again. In this session, we will uncover what brought us to education, look for ways to rekindle the fire, and rethink how best to re-energize ourselves and advance our profession.
