Professional Development:
State & National Conferences & Competitions
PSEA hosts the Educators Rising Conference in the Fall, and the State Conference and Competition in the Spring. CMTHS Educators Rising Club has been fortunate to attend both. Additionally, our club has traveled to Nationals in 2023 and 2024. These events provide invaluable experience for students to hear from State and National Teachers of the Year, attend breakout sessions, and compete in a variety of competitions. Participating in these events is a wonderful way to build students' professionalism and provides exposure to the field.
