In partnership with the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE), the Delaware Association of School Administrators and the University of Delaware Partnership for Public Education, UD’s School Success Center (SSC), housed within the College of Education and Human Development, will host the 22nd annual Policy and Practice Institute on Tuesday, June 25, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Dover High School in Dover, Delaware.

The conference is Delaware’s premier networking and professional learning event for educators, school leaders and policymakers. With practical tools and resources, this year’s event will enable participants to take action toward creating stronger and more equitable learning opportunities for Delaware students. Sessions will focus on building school, family and community partnerships, recruiting and retaining educators and more.

“This year, our event will feature 10 poster sessions and 65 breakout sessions, offering plenty of opportunity for participants to learn from colleagues across the state of Delaware and nationally,” said Alison Travers, associate director of SSC’s Delaware Academy of School Leadership. “New this year, we’re also featuring Delaware TIDE talks, fast-paced and creative presentations meant to trailblaze, innovate, discover and empower. We look forward to welcoming more than 600 participants and celebrating their successes.”

The event will also include remarks from Mark Holodick, DDOE secretary of education and CEHD alumnus, and a keynote address from Jamila Dugan, an educator, coach and author who has spent her career uplifting the experiences of students, families and educators whose voices have historically been marginalized.
