About this event
In Practice is a unique teaching and learning conference that leverages critical reflection, peer-to-peer discourse, and inspirational workshops to help educators reflect on their school year and begin to turn their sights towards next year in a meaningful and productive setting.
We recognize that teachers are often isolated in their classrooms, with few opportunities to share successes and dilemmas with colleagues. This isolation leads to attrition and/or stagnation. At our annual In Practice conference, we strive to dissolve feelings of isolation by positioning teachers as experts, and by providing space for you to connect with your fellow educators in a meaningful way.
