The National Education Association (NEA) hosted its annual Leadership Summit in San Francisco, California at the Moscone Convention Center South on March 10-12.  The theme for this year’s Summit was Joy, Justice, Excellence: The Strength of Educators. The Brilliance of Students. The Power of Community.

This year’s Summit brought together members leaders from across the country who participated in over 140 breakout sessions which helped participants expand their awareness of one or more of the seven domains in the NEA Leadership Framework - advocacy, communication, governance and leadership, leading our professions, organizing, social and emotional intelligence, and strategy and fiscal health.

The keynote speakers included Dr. Christopher Edmin, who took our members on a journey of urban education Reality Pedagogy “Ratchetdemic"; Helena Donato-Sapp, a 13-year-old activist, artist, and self-declared Black Girl Scholar who used her art and voice for social, economic, and disability justice; and Charles Best, Founder of DonorsChoose, who shared his commitment to combating racial and socioeconomic inequity in school funding. The Summit also featured two students represented by Kansas- NEA, Aleko Khundadze and Ben Jackson. They shared their poem Fight which empowers justice by raising awareness about those who have fallen victim to the horrors of police brutality.
