Regional Education Summits—Don’t Miss Out! Houghton Mifflin Harcourt™ is pleased to announce our summer Education Summit event series “Connect. Converse. Cultivate.”
We recognize that your school isn’t like any other school and your student body isn’t one size fits all. There is no “uniform” methodology that works from desk to desk or school to school. There are, however, great ideas, useful anecdotes, and best practices amongst school leaders in your community. The Education Summits are designed to bring together education leaders in the Private, Parochial and Charter school communities to foster in-depth dialogue coupled with presentations and collaborative workshops that offer strategies and tools to better serve your students and faculty.
Further, we will be there with our industry expertise and powerful full-scale solutions to equip you with the confidence you need to face the challenges moving forward and end-to-end offerings to effectively impact your school’s success and your students’ achievement.
