IGNITE your Engines: Riding The Backwards Bike

Wednesday July 17, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

"Summertime and the livin' is easy!" Imagine a world where we didn't need a long break to rejuvenate to get back at it again the next school year because being a teacher was a joy! As we kick off the conference, we will have some fun and share some laughs as we explore how to make our careers more fulfilling and our students more excited to learn. We will IGNITE your passion for education, and, in the process, we may even ride bikes on stage for money!
