The sixth regional convening dedicated to honoring who students are, how they learn, and where they want to go.
The challenges we face today require we show a little extra humanity, and work harder to see it in others. Especially in education.
That’s what this year’s event is about.
Thank you for joining us for:
Engaging keynote speakers - Live student performances - Panel discussions with students and movement leaders - Breakout sessions by and for educators - Student-led roundtable discussions - Workshops on self-care and healing - Science Museum exhibit access
Featured speakers
Jeffrey Garrett & Dr. Manuel Rustin
Hosts of All of the Above
All of the Above is a national education talk show from the lively duo of high school history teacher Manuel Rustin and veteran principal-leader Jeffrey Garrett.
The two provide insight on critical issues impacting schools—in high-energy discussions, interviews with everyone in education from prominent researchers to classroom practitioners, and thoughtful analysis through an equity and justice lens.
They’re bringing their show to us.
Breakout sessions
Local educators, community and system leaders, and students lending concrete knowledge and tools for student-centered learning—with an emphasis on ways to celebrate our differences and honor our shared humanity.
Most breakout sessions are in-person at the Science Museum of Minnesota, with exclusive online sessions for virtual attendees.
