Join us for a celebratory, inspiring event honoring another successful year of adult learning. 

The Peabody Essex Museum will serve as the backdrop as we spotlight all that Essex County educators have learned and accomplished over the past academic year. Educators from across our communities will:

  • Host display tables to share a new practice, strategy or idea
  • Tell their stories about why they teach, lead, and continue to learn in short testimonials
  • Perform during musical interludes

All are welcome to join us to network, celebrate, and continue their own journey of growth and lifelong learning. Think cocktail party meets science fair - we will have it all!
