The conference is open to educators and leaders for all grade levels, K-12. We will offer sessions geared toward those using Carnegie Learning’s instructional materials, as well as several sessions on best practices in math, developing and reinforcing mathematical concepts, educational research, and leadership for a range of grade bands that can benefit all educators.
In order to meet the needs of a wide range of teachers and administrators, the National Institute will offer a variety of breakout sessions so you can create a personal agenda that is tailor-made to your interests and district initiatives. You can find out more about attendee options here.
What is the difference between a general attendee and an advanced educator attendee?
General attendees are K-12 math teachers and leaders attending the main conference. General attendees are able to create a personalized agenda by selecting a la carte workshop offerings to tailor their experience to their exact specifications.
Advanced Educators are current Carnegie Learning customers who have used a CL product for at least one year. Advanced Educator sessions will begin one day prior to the conference start, and attendees on this track will receive an intensive week of training designed to enhance their ability to support their CL implementation, as well as participate in the general conference events.

Yes! You are welcome to use the same travel agent that we use. It is important to note that the agency charges a fee per itinerary of $34. If you would like to use that option, we can provide contact information for our agency. You can also book directly with the airlines, or any travel site you prefer.
