The Educators Summer Symposium
provides opportunities for educators, school resource officers, parents
and community members to participate in practical, research-based
sessions designed to provide information, stimulate discussion, and
foster personal and professional growth.
Sessions are presented by
national, regional and local experts who will provide research-based
information and practical ideas. Many sessions are interactive with time for participants to network.
Last year, over 700 participants
from 120 different communities participated in this educational event.
Please join us for the 4th Annual
Educators Summer Symposium!
