UNC Charlotte Cato College of Education

Summer may be here now, but any educator knows that summertime is fleeting - so we're planning now for our fall signature conference, Teacher 2 Teacher!

We're accepting proposals through July 1 for all strands listed from both experienced and new presenters. T2T is a great environment to build your presentation resume and share your expertise - even newer teachers have wisdom to share with peers!

Visit tinyurl.com/T2Tproposal for more info or to submit. We can't wait to see what you'll bring to the table!

Ever been told "you're a great resource" by your fellow teachers? Seeking your next step in education? Or are you an experienced coach looking to add to your toolkit?

Join us at the inaugural Coach 2 Coach conference on July 15 to learn from experienced instructional coaches who want to share with peers and grow the next generation of leaders, including keynote speaker Amanda Pembroke '11 of Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Becca Silver of The Whole Educator Community, Gretchen Bridgers of Always A Lesson, Katie and Kyla from Charlotte NC NTSP, and more!

Your day will include multiple sessions with high-impact recommendations for your daily practice, as well as at least one roundtable session where you can share with peers and solve problems of practice together.

This three-day partnership with our colleagues at Cabarrus County Schools has been so special! We love helping these leaders to grow their skillset and solve problems of practice, all in service of our common goal of improving Charlotte students' education 🌟

And this is just the beginning - we're offering many PD opportunities for educators around the Charlotte region, the state, and beyond this summer! Stay tuned for more info about upcoming conferences and resources from Cato College very soon 👀
