NEASC Educator Showcase

Learn with and from your peers

Engage with and learn from educators at other NEASC-Accredited schools who will share best practices and actionable examples of how they are:

• creating opportunities for learner agency and autonomy
• encouraging intellectual curiosity and self-directed learning
• developing global citizenship
• connecting learning to social impact
• cultivating empathy, inclusion, and belonging
• supporting learner well-being and mental health awareness in a changing world
• fostering purpose-driven learning and real-world learning experiences
• and more...

The importance of purpose-driven learning is an integral component of the NEASC Standards for Accreditation and the 2025 Showcase continues this theme. Participants will learn how to further align their own schools with the Standards and implement new strategies for growth while exploring real-world examples of best practices from their peers.

Who should attend?

This event is open to educators, students, counselors, administrators, and other personnel in K-12 schools. Team participation by groups from schools/districts is highly encouraged.
