Tweaking titles, choosing CLASS-themed swag, supporting presenters … it’s just another day at Teachstone with the 4th Annual InterAct CLASS Summit just six short weeks away!
This year, we’re pulling out all the stops to make sure the CLASS Summit is welcoming, dynamic, and most importantly—transformative. After all, CLASS is a tool aimed at empowering teachers to improve children’s lives. As we plan for the Summit, we’re taking a cue from amazing teachers everywhere to try to emulate what they do every day—transform lives.
Here are three key ways you can expect the InterAct CLASS Summit to support your own professional transformation:
1) Reignite Your Why
Let the CLASS Summit remind you why you got into education in the first place with these opportunities:
-
Attend a free film screening of No Small Matter, and meet the featured teacher from the movie, Rachel Giannini (you can also catch her keynote address and breakout session!)
-
Prepare to be moved during the Power to the Profession session, where we’ll be celebrating a distinguished panel of teacher honorees
-
If you’re a fan of TED talks, don’t miss our inspiring Lightning Talks
2) Take Back Relevant and Specific Strategies
This year, we’re ensuring there is truly something for everybody. That’s why we’re providing more breakout tracks than ever before (no need to stick to just one). Explore them all using our interactive schedule.
-

-
Empowering Great Teaching

3) Establish Lasting Connections
Community-building is a critical component of any professional conference. This year we’re going to make it easy for you to forge connections:
-
Join our InterAct Attendee Facebook Group and get to know your fellow attendees before your trip even begins (you’ll find some great Nashville recommendations there too!)
-
Take in a meal during an optional Birds of a Feather lunch table (topics TBA soon!)
-
InterAct with key CLASS experts by exploring the Learning Lounge, enjoying the free Monday night reception, or attending one of two breakout sessions facilitated by CLASS authors, Dr. Bridget Hamre and Dr. Robert Pianta.
