This year's theme:

As educators we are blessed every day with many opportunities to create the possibilities for our students to reach their potential. Success is obtained in various ways, but we hold many pieces through the use of federal funds to create new avenues for our students to navigate. How we utilize our base component of the comprehensive needs assessment to build our school improvement plans and then our budgets can create unfathomable possibilities for our students, teachers, administrators, parents guardians, and community. We can cultivate a creative culture for our schools to reach for the stars with the possibilities.

Join us in Portland, OR or online at the National ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) Conference as we:

Create the Possibilities...

  • to review current research and data to guide instruction for students' success,
  • for students by exploring vendor resources,
  • to develop professional learning for faculty and staff to increase effectiveness,
  • to build strong connections with our parents and stakeholders,
  • to provide all children, in public and nonpublic schools, significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and
  • to close educational achievement gaps as defined in ESEA.

As educators, we hold the key to create the possibilities of building the capacity of education professionals to provide children served by ESEA programs with a high-quality education.

Portland, we love you!

From Travel Portland:

"What makes Portland, Oregon, unique? Above all, the people of Portland are why the city is so exceptional. Portland has a thriving community of artists and makers who encourage innovation in design and craft (whether it be creating a sneaker or a new flavor of doughnut). In Portland, it’s good to experiment with what you love.

Portlanders also place a high value on sustainability, which can be seen in the way locals maintain and enjoy the city’s public gardens and green spaces, urban forests, miles of protected bike lanes, efficient public transportation and preserved natural areas."
