POSTER SESSIONS

“I love the poster sessions where we are able to talk one on one with improvers and learn more about the work they have done. It is affirming and allows me to bring back real life models for others to learn from.”

Bring your voice, bring your story! Carnegie Summit 2024’s exciting slate of posters showcases vivid snapshots of improver stories from the field, providing our community of presenters and attendees with rich opportunities for engagement during a series of interactive poster sessions. Topics range from literacy, to student voice and engagement, to improvement tools and capacity, to equity, diversity, and belonging, to educator development, to school redesign, to system transformation–and more.
