Educators choose their career because they’re passionate about teaching and learning. Passion, however, requires inspiration, rejuvenation, and creativity. As you progress through the years and over the course of a career, educators need a lifelong commitment to their own learning, expanding their point of view and renewing their passion.

The best professional development opportunities grow your sense of wonder, of exploration, and of purpose. At the annual TCEA Convention & Exposition, we work to provide ample, novel ways to refresh your passion for education. This year, our virtual event is full of ways to embrace education from every angle, in part by gaining new insights from our amazing speakers — the inventive experts we call Thought Leaders.

Here are a few reasons you’ll want to register for TCEA 2021, and not miss out on these speakers.
