What People Say About TWPC
I left feeling affirmed and empowered. I also felt more compelled to thoughtfully reflect upon my own practices and how I can begin to acquaint myself with community resources to best support my students.
Teacher
This two-day conference has given me insight to different concepts relating to race, culture, schools and the make up of other institutions in our country. It has enlightened me on different ways of teaching and different ways of thinking.
Teacher
I am walking away from this conference armed with knowledge and tools to reexamine my pedagogy and my purpose. I have always said that I do not want to be a burned out teacher doing what I need to to collect a paycheck until I can retire, while doing a great disservice to the multitude of students who pass through my classroom.
Teacher
Every time I have attended the Teaching with Purpose Conference, I have walked away inspired, moved and in deep thought.
Teacher
I first would like to say thank you for creating this conference, with its richness of speakers, breakout sessions and attendees. I left feeling rejuvenated, empowered, and filled with wanting to learn more.
Teacher
Attending the Teaching with a Purpose conference was a great opportunity for me to reflect on my own practice. During the two days I was able to think about my own culture and background and how it has shaped the educator and person I have become today.

Teacher
Chris Emdin was INSANELY good. I wish we could have heard him for 14 hours straight. 🙂 Thank you for all the work you put in to organize those powerful two days.
Teacher
With conferences like these, it will continue to provide more learning for all educators and hopefully someday we will bridge that gap.
Teacher
Culturally Relevant Teaching was something that I thought was mainly for the humanities and language arts classroom. I quickly learned that I too have the opportunity to teach culturally relevant lessons in the mathematics classroom and am always looking for ways to make my lessons culturally relevant.
