¡ADELANTE! Latino/x Educator SUMMIT

The ¡Adelante! Educator Summit is an intentional way for districts to celebrate and empower their Latino/x communities and to deepen their commitment to Latino/x educators and district allies in service of Latino/x students and families.

why partner with us?

By design, the summit centers on the local expertise of current Latino/x educators who serve as summit presenters. As a result, the summit showcases and develops the district's Latino/x leadership, instructional expertise, and cultural competence. This approach elevates Latino/x educators' strength in the district, thus setting the stage for more comprehensive Latino/x leadership districtwide pipeline strategies.
