JOSTENS RENAISSANCE® GLOBAL CONFERENCE HOSTS 1,850 EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS
August 01 2024 - 6:46PM
Educators and student leaders from across North America gathered in
Orlando, Florida on July 16-18 at the annual Jostens Renaissance
Global Conference (JRGC). The annual conference is centered around
the Jostens Renaissance framework that helps build a culture where
teachers love their jobs and students thrive in school.
Hancock Country School District Superintendent Rhett Ladner
shared, "JRGC fosters collaboration and innovation among Staffulty™
and students, which is why I look forward to attending each year.
As a superintendent, it’s important to me that we continuously seek
ways to enhance school culture, student achievement and staff
engagement, and that’s what JRGC provides. It also just makes my
life better!"
The conference offered more than 100 breakouts, inspirational
keynote speakers and general sessions that modeled key concepts
like celebrating achievements in academics and character in
relevant, meaningful ways. Attendees learned practical strategies
to improve educator morale, academic achievement, character
development and overall climate and culture.
Michael Wolf, Jostens VP of School Culture and Events states,
"JRGC is truly a special event and we were honored to host a
record-setting number of attendees this year. It was loud, it was
fun and it was full of passionate people that believe in the power
of culture and relationships. All of us at Jostens were
excited to recognize their dedication and achievements at the
event."
Throughout the conference, Jostens celebrated schools that have
used the Jostens Renaissance framework to impact key areas such as
graduation rate, staff retention, discipline referrals, attendance
and more. At the Awards Gala on the evening of the 17, Jostens
recognized five Educators of the Year and one Jostens Renaissance
Hall of Fame inductee.
