“I wonder how many students’ lives might be saved if we educators disclosed what we know to each other.”
- Roland Barthe, Founder, The Principal's Center, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Our annual Transfer School Conference welcomes transfer school educators and partners from across New York City to participate in a full day of workshops, panels, student-led sessions, and keynote addresses.
A unique feature of the conference is that the majority of workshops and panels are developed and facilitated by, and for, transfer school educators. Last year's conference offered 77 workshops to 1,000 attendees from across the city.
Hosted by the New York City Department of Education in partnership with Eskolta School Research and Design, the 10th Annual conference will take place June 4, 2020.
We invite you to explore our conference resources.
