Will you be one of the Traverse 100?
Traverse is a different kind of professional experience for educators. It's hands-on, real-world, and built on the expertise of the people in the room. It's a small group of innovative educators learning together and caring about each other beyond the event itself.

What Participants Say
"Traverse is like no other professional development that I've experienced in my 17 years of teaching. It is the most engaging and inspiring conference. It allowed me to talk with people from all different walks of education and to get and share ideas on how to make my teaching better and to inspire my students' learning in new ways."
