Attention All Educators!

Preparation for the 3rd Annual Prioritizing Excellence Conference is well underway at ESC Region 11, and we need presenters like you! 

We hope that you will join us on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, as we continue to explore what it means to “Prioritize Excellence” in education.

Join us as we bring just-in-time learning and strategies to meet the needs of ALL educational personnel. This year’s theme is “Refresh.” We encourage campus leaders to bring the team and their DCSI to engage in a day of learning that is committed to improving teaching, leading and supporting. 

Participants can prioritize their school’s needs by engaging in specialized conference tracks or creating a personalized learning agenda to tailor their learning experience. 

This conference is intended for and marketed to participants engaged in campus and district leadership. We recognize that it takes every individual in an educational organization to ensure the success of each child, and we want to honor that by offering multiple pathways suited for a variety of audiences tailored to meet their specific needs. 

We need YOU and YOUR experience and expertise to make this possible.

The Prioritizing Excellence Conference Committee invites you to submit an informational session or workshop proposal for the 3rd Annual Prioritizing Excellence Conference 2023. Proposals are for 90-minute workshops. You may submit multiple proposals.

What is a workshop?

(Rigor: Discover/Apply/Create): An intentional opportunity to grapple with old and new thinking to produce personalized/individualized meaning and/or for embedded deliberate practice for quick implementation.
