Join your Montclair colleagues as we come together to explore how we can intentionally design learning experiences that create lasting impact and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Annual Summer Institute! For two decades, this conference has been a hub for collaboration, innovation and transformative ideas in education. 

This year’s theme, Designing for Impact, challenges us to rethink our pedagogical strategies, leverage new tools, and design meaningful learning experiences that drive impact through intentionality, inclusivity and innovation. 

Together, we will discuss what the future of education might look like and ways to design for maximum impact. Each day will include a variety of presentations and workshops to inspire, support and engage.
