EL Education Events is the official app for EL Education's events, including our signature National Conference event. EL Education’s National Conference brings together people from all over the world who are motivated by a shared vision of what is possible for all K–12 students. ELNC helps educators prepare students to contribute to a better world. Our conference sessions are “for practitioners, by practitioners,” with presenters illuminating commonalities and sharing their collective wisdom and expertise related to EL Education curricula, the Three Dimensions of Student Achievement, and the Core Practices. This year we’re excited to add new session types and lengths to reach multiple audiences—including school and district administrators, instructional leaders, school board members, and curriculum specialists—with diverse goals.
