Teacher's are Leaders Inside and Outside of the Classroom

Thursday July 16, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm MDT

ED 204 - Emma Eccles Jones Education Building, Room 204

Teachers have limited professional opportunities outside of moving away from the classroom to the district or admin offices.

We will explore the Utah State board approved Roles of a Teacher Leader Guidebook and the various leadership opportunities for teachers.
