Duration

Description
Research shows that teachers impact student achievement more than any other aspect of schooling. In order to improve the quality of instruction and in turn increase student success, teachers need to have opportunities to build their leadership capacities. The National Network of State Teachers of the Year (NNSTOY) is a professional association of teachers across all fifty states collectively working to develop the leadership of educators in supporting policies and practices on behalf of students. Through the 2018 National Teacher Leadership Conference, a four-day training and networking event, NNSTOY will bring together the country’s best teachers, principals, and education leaders to find solutions to four key areas of practice: student engagement, educational equity, teacher leadership, and social and emotional learning. This will be NNSTOY’s sixth national conference with over 350 educators. With support from the Corporation, NNSTOY will create videos, webinars, and live-streaming of the conference for distribution to a wider network of teachers, and therefore enable continued learning and professional development among educators across the country.
