Nearly 5,000
K-12 teachers, counselors, and district administrators
nationwide to attend the free virtual conference
WASHINGTON, July 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EVERFI, Inc., a leading social
impact education innovator, today announced that its third annual
LearnOn Conference, scheduled for Thursday,
July 21, is on track to bring together nearly 5,000 K-12 educators from around the country. The
half-day virtual conference offers attendees the opportunity to
collaborate and connect with other education professionals on the
most innovative education strategies while participating in
sessions grounded in whole-child learning at no cost.
The theme for this year's conference is Forward Together,
a nod to some of the most challenging years of teaching for many
educators during the COVID-19 pandemic -- and how the path ahead is
more manageable with the collective help of colleagues across the
country and those who support educators.
The LearnOn conference provides teachers, counselors, and
district administrators the space to recharge and collaborate on
creating strategies and plans for the upcoming school year.
Attendees will be able to choose from more than 25 breakout
sessions to hear from experts and participate in discussions on
pressing topics such as:
- How Gen Z students approach learning differently
- How teachers can deal with transitions and burnout
- How teachers can support their students' mental health along
with their own mental health
- How teachers can engage families in the classroom
- How administrators can master financial literacy mandates
These sessions will be led by current educators, as well as
subject matter experts from EVERFI and its strategic partners
including the Born This Way Foundation, BetterUp, Canva, PearDeck,
and more. The ability to provide the conference at no cost to
educators is made possible through the support of Ball Corporation,
BetterHelp, Group 1001, HCA Healthcare, Intuit, Truth Initiative,
and ZelleⓇ.
"We started the LearnOn Conference in response to the pandemic
in 2020 as a way to provide teachers critical support and resources
to navigate the changing learning environment," said Jessica Barlett, senior vice president, K-12
Operations, EVERFI. "With EVERFI's network of more than 25,000
schools, we are in a unique position to bring together so many
educators and field experts who are passionate about whole-child
learning and preparing students for the real world. It's important
to have conversations about the unique challenges our educators
face in the 21st century, and we are proud to provide teachers and
administrators with the tools to be successful in the upcoming
school year."
In addition to participating in breakout sessions, conference
attendees will learn from more than 60 education experts, explore
the latest research and resources related to real-world
learning, and receive a certificate for four hours of
professional development. Attendees will also hear from keynote
speaker Joe "Mr. D" Dombrowski, a comedian and teacher, and musical
guest singer-songwriter Nina
Grae.
