With over 40 sessions featuring classroom-ready resources, high-impact strategies, and engaging lessons across all subject areas—including the brand-new Social Studies curriculum—this year’s Summit will help you start the year with confidence and purpose. Explore the schedule below and plan your path toward flourishing in your practice and fostering optimal learning for every student.
This session supports K–6 teachers in understanding how Indigenous Knowledge is woven throughout all subjects in the new curriculum.

Participants will also be introduced to the Teacher Foundational Knowledge Resource, a practical tool to support respectful and confident weaving of Indigenous perspectives into professional practice.
