2023 National Board Leadership Conference
October 21, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - October 22, 2023 @ 1:30 pm
After a six-year hiatus, the NBCT Leadership Conference is back! The Washington National Board Network (CSTP, OSPI and WEA) is thrilled to bring this unique conference experience designed by Washington NBCTs for NBCTs with the conference theme of Rejuvenating Leadership through Justice, Joy and Equitable Practices.
Attendees will enjoy guest speakers, NBCT-led presentations, and access to helpful resources all while enjoying gourmet meals in a retreat-like environment at the Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, Washington. Register now to learn, plan, reflect and connect with other NBCTs to define your leadership journey and make a difference in Washington’s schools.
Conference Goals:
- Together we will: deepen our understanding of “intent vs impact” within our spaces as both a practitioner and educator, and/or teacher leader. Build our self-awareness around our ways of being and positionality, so that collectively, we can work to reduce harm towards fellow educators and/or our students.
- Begin to focus our “why” on celebrating joy: both in our personal and professional lives. Begin to think about stories that highlight joy, both historical and current day.
- Strengthen our knowledge of equity and begin to think about and discuss what equitable practices looks like in the classroom. We will do this by educating and equipping ourselves with communication tools, data, and language to support this.
- Network with fellow NBCT’s and raise awareness of leadership opportunities- specifically for BIPOC and historically marginalized NBCT’s. Learn about and connect with partners WEA, CSTP, OSPI, and NBPTS for future leadership opportunities.
