The Smithsonian Office of the Under Secretary for Education is thrilled to invite you and your educator networks to the Smithsonian National Education Summit, taking place from July 16-18, both locally in Washington, D.C., and live-streamed online. The Summit is a premier professional learning experience, offering a unique blend of sessions from 22 museums, libraries, and science and education centers, as well as education collaborators such as the Japanese American National Museum, LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, and the Kentucky Humanities Council.

Our theme for this year, "Together We Thrive, Connecting at the Intersections," promises to bring together thousands of teachers, museum educators, librarians, students, and caregivers from across the globe. This free event provides a unique opportunity to engage with national figures, leading experts, and educators shaping the future of education. Learn how to use art to connect the past and present, discover effective practices for inclusive storytelling, help students understand global challenges with local solutions, and explore real-life examples of youth taking civic action.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow with fellow educators. Save the date and join us for this transformative educational experience.

Register now to secure your spot and please feel free to share with your networks! We look forward to seeing you and fellow educators in your network at the Summit!

It appears that all sessions on Thursday are already sold out. Are there any plans to add more sessions?

Thank you
