Beginnings: The First Day

Students and teachers alike anticipate the first day of school. It is a day of excitement, nervousness, newness, uncertainty, and expectation. The first day will set the tone for the year.

The effectiveness of our schools depends significantly on the vision and experience of our teachers. At Teachers Conference, teachers take a step back from the day-to-day practices of school and focus on personal, spiritual, and professional development and refreshment. We offer the event to strengthen their vision and long-term commitments to building God honoring, Kingdom-oriented schools. Our annual themes focus on practices and enrichment for long-term teachers*. Teachers Conference features main sessions, breakout sessions, and space for reflection or networking with other teachers.
