• Teaching Palestine-Israel
• AI & the Classroom
• Pedagogy and Hip Hop

Maryland, DC, and Virginia secondary school and community-based educators are encouraged to attend!

• Maryland school-based educators who attend will be eligible to receive 8 Professional Development Points (PDPs)! More information here.
• DC School based educators who attend will receive a certificate of attendance for PLUs to submit for their renewal teacher credentials.

We look forward to you joining us on July 19.
