Collaborating for moments that build momentum.

Over the summer, educators from all over the country came together in Chicago to discuss some of the most important issues in education. Our aim was to inspire you through engaging keynotes, interactive workshops, collaborative activities, and meaningful dialogue. We truly hope that you have embraced our 5 Assets Framework and are now using it to create significant momentum for your school or district.

ThinkCERCA Institutes have been a hallmark of our professional learning community for years and we are so thankful to all of the educators who joined us at our Summer Leadership Institute in Chicago. Our 2-day event was a great opportunity to deepen your know-how of critical thinking and literacy pedagogy all while supporting school- and district-level ThinkCERCA teams.
