We are pleased to announce the return of Gateway Impact's 3rd Annual Powerful Learners Conference, a virtual event, focused on how we can reenergize, reconnect and refresh as educators to keep students feeling safe and supported in this most unusual time.

We’re excited to welcome presenters from the public education and nonprofit sectors as well as Linda Darling-Hammond, one of the co-authors of the Learning Policy Institute’s case study of Gateway Public Schools as our keynote speaker. Dr. Darling-Hammond is President and CEO of LPI, as well as a Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education Emeritus at Stanford University, where she founded the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education.

We are thrilled to be collaborating this year with experts from youth nonprofits, teacher preparation programs and public education. This wide range of expertise and perspectives allows us to provide sessions that will prove useful to anyone and everyone who supports K-12 students, whether you work in the classroom, in the non-profit sector, or are still in university studying to become a teacher.

Sessions will cover:

Anti-Racist Teaching

College Access

Leadership and Collaboration

Social-Emotional Learning

Ticket Levels:

We are offering three ticket tiers: All Access, Live Access Only and Team All Access.

The first 100 All Access ticket holders will receive a gift box in the mail! All Access ticket holders and those registering with their colleagues as a team will receive access to a pre-conference yoga class, special deep dive breakouts after each session with a smaller group for networking and debriefing, post-conference recordings, presentation materials, a guided stretch/dance break and a networking happy hour!

Schedule:

The schedule for All Access ticket holders runs from 10AM PST to 3PM PST with an optional yoga class from 9-9:45AM and a Happy Hour from 3-4PM. The All-Access day will include three breakout sessions, plus three deep dive discussion groups post-breakout.

The schedule for Live Access Ticket Holders starts at 10AM PST with access to three breakout sessions. The schedule is subject to change.

A day for teachers, leaders and those serving youth to:

Learn concrete student agency tools and practices to help your students become powerful learners.

Connect with educators from other organizations and share best practices.

Enjoy top-rate professional development and camaraderie!

Gateway Impact is an initiative of Gateway Public Schools dedicated to improving educational outcomes for all students through conversation, collaboration, and celebration.
