At the 2015 conference, with special speakers Michael Fullan, Dale
Dougherty, Bernie Trilling, and Educardo Briceno, the Napa Valley
Education Exchange is committed to bringing together, in our annual
conferences, educators and students and experts and visionaries to
open our horizons and give us the inspiration, the shared vision and
practical steps to move us on the way. From technology to Common Core,
this two and a half day, results-oriented conference will be a dynamic
exchange of ideas with educators, students, solution providers and
thought leaders. Participants will work in teams, project-based learning
style, to develop unique approaches for their school or district.
We will allot plenty of time for teams to develop action steps and
share ideas. 2015
