The imaginative playground stretching around Gillette Stadium was both empowering and inspiring. I left that day knowing I had to be part of this incredible organization. Little did I know that years later, MassCUE would become more than just an organization to me—it would become a family. Our community is one that strives to connect educators year-round, fostering lifelong friendships and learning opportunities I could have never imagined. I am thrilled to share that the very thing that sparked my passion for MassCUE—the ability to lead with a team to create an unforgettable learning experience for educators across Massachusetts and beyond—is once again at the forefront of my work. The MassCUE programming team and I are honored to bring the MassCUE Fall Conference back to its roots. This year's conference theme, Forward, promises to uphold the vision and mission of MassCUE while providing a platform for educators to shine! So many of YOU are doing extraordinary things with your learners, staff, and school systems. We would be honored to have you share your knowledge and passion at this year’s conference. The MassCUE Annual Fall Conference RFPs are open, providing multiple opportunities for educators and students to present. This year’s theme, Forward, encourages a variety of presentation formats, including: Traditional workshops Educator panels Interactive educator playgrounds 1:1 thought partner connections A special area for student poster sessions and panels.
