Dear Colleagues,
The Federal Programs Unit at the Montana Office of Public Instruction would like to invite you to attend the National ESEA Conference in Atlanta, GA, February 4-8, 2020. This conference includes four days of learning and skill building focused on supporting disadvantaged children. Thousands of K-12 educators from across the country attend.
This year’s theme, “Together for Equity,” creates a singular focus for all attendees on the unique needs of disadvantaged children and our ability to centralize service across ESEA programs. The more than 3,000 participants include state agency officials, school district administrators, school building leaders, and teachers – all gaining new knowledge, instructional strategies, and skills needed to transform student learning. Staff from the U.S. Department of Education offer multiple sessions to provide new information across federal programs.
Conference participants will have opportunities to meet and learn from professionals who have taken significant steps to help students succeed. More than 100 conference sessions include both large group presentations with nationally recognized speakers, and smaller interactive workshops where attendees work closely with education experts.
Full information can be found on the ESEA Network website, or by downloading the Attendee Guide. Early registration savings are available through December 31.
If you have questions, please contact Jack O’Connor, Federal Programs Director at 406-444-3083 or joconnor2@mt.gov.
