Teachers came from all over the world - from Thailand, Poland, Romania, USA, Albania, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, England, Ireland, Germany. I met many new teachers and made new friends with many of the participants. ![]() I attended the conference for the first time in 2016, and I came home from that first conference filled with excitement and inspiration from all the new ideas and discussions I had experienced. Most of all, we reaffirmed our commitment to a philosophy of education and a community of personalities who share a deep love of children, a desire to contribute our time and knowledge to the world, and a shared vision of a better world through our work as teachers. We embraced new ideas and connections, made new friends from places far away, and shared our joy of belonging to a vital and uplifting profession. We asked questions and sought answers for our teaching puzzles. We shared photos and videos and stories of our students and our teaching lives. ![]() Together we shared moments of connection. We overcame philosophical or pedagogical differences. Sometimes we overcame political or professional hurdles. By attending, by coming, by overcoming obstacles of many kinds, we created something truly special together. For me the best part of the conference was the wonderful atmosphere we created about community and sharing and being open with each other.
