The 2024 conference will showcase Tier 1 instruction, relevant professional learning based on the four fundamentals (structured literacy, quality instruction, standards alignment, and balanced assessments), a provision for networking with both similar and diverse school districts, and it will allow for participants to become families with KSDE staff and resources to support the School Improvement plan for the state of Kansas.
