The Elevate Teachers Conference began in 2018 with the idea to bring more professional training specifically to teachers in Mississippi that would enhance and provide ideas, support and encouragement for the upcoming school year ahead.
The Division of Educator Effectiveness is committed to continue this annual conference for Mississippi’s teachers to bring in state and national leaders to provide solutions and ideas for all teachers and education professionals.
