We are in our third year of a partnership with the Clark County School District and with scholars across the country. Many of those scholars will be coming for their third year in a row. Others attended the first year and have submitted proposals for this year. We are reviewing them now. The list of presenters will be revealed in two weeks. Stay tuned.
Past Summits
You can check out who presented in 2018 at this link. (Some of them will be presenting again.) We did a slightly different format in 2019 that focused less on researching and more on teaching. You can check out that format at this link.

Each year we grow and add new dimensions. Each year we have had a number of elementary teachers attended the summit. This year, in order to meet their needs and interests more directly, we are adding shadow events on Thursday, the research day, that highlights Children's literature. Teacher's can attend this day as a single event (see the registration options), but in reality don't you want to hear all of the authors?
