“At the Core” – Day 1

Posted: Jul 10, 2014

The national conference is underway in Philadelphia, PA! Over 100 state teachers of the year, state teacher of the year finalists, and education thought leaders gather for three days, July 9^th-12^th, to share and discuss issues in education policy, practice, and advocacy in order to improve the profession and strengthen student learning across the nation.

The conference kicked off with a service day, where participants volunteered at three locations around Philly, including Philabundance Hunger Relief Center, Cradles to Crayons, and the Philadelphia Zoo.

Following the volunteer activities was an evening reception where STOYs from the past 30 years celebrated reuniting with friends and colleagues from the education community.
