Join Illinois Elevating Special Educators (IESE) Network for our third annual summit specifically designed to meet the needs of special educators as we launch the 2024-2025 school year. The Summit promises to provide special education professionals opportunities to come together to learn, share, grow, and connect.
Summit activities will include a keynote from Cathleen Beachboard, an award-winning educator, best-selling author, and leading expert on raising psychological hope in schools. Cathleen provides actionable tools and strategies tailored to the current educational landscape. Her Building H.O.P.E.© framework has significantly enhanced resilience, well-being, and achievement in thousands of schools across the country. Special educators will also choose sessions specific to their needs, gaining insight into the latest research-based strategies and tips they can apply to supporting students with disabilities in the classroom.
NOTE: This summit is not just for special education teachers! If you are a counselor, administrator, paraeducator, or general education teacher who wants to learn more about meeting the diverse needs of children in your classroom - please join us!
