Director's View - Get Ready to Be Challenged
Dr. Vic Wilson Executive Director CLAS
As we approach the 2023 CLAS Convention, I am excited to share my thoughts with you about the upcoming event. The theme for this year’s convention is “Meeting Challenges. Seizing Opportunities.” and it could not be timelier given the challenges and opportunities that lie before us.
The past two years have presented numerous challenges for educators, students, and families. From adapting to remote learning to navigating the pandemic, we have had to be resilient and innovative to continue providing high-quality education to our students.
The CLAS Convention provides an excellent opportunity for us to come together as a community and share our experiences, learn from one another, and develop strategies for addressing the challenges we face. This year’s convention will be held from June 11-14 in Mobile, Alabama, and I encourage all educational leaders to attend.
The convention will feature keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities that will provide valuable insights and resources to help us tackle the challenges we face. We will have the chance to hear from experts in the field, as well as our peers, who have successfully implemented innovative solutions in their own schools and districts.
As educators, we have a responsibility to ensure that all students have access to high-quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. The convention will provide valuable resources and strategies for promoting high quality learning for everyone. We will have keynotes and breakouts to meet your learning needs.
The convention is also an opportunity for us to celebrate our successes and recognize the outstanding work being done in our schools and districts. The CLAS Awards Luncheon will honor educators and administrators who have made significant contributions to their schools and communities.
I am confident that the 2023 CLAS Convention will be a valuable and rewarding experience for all who attend. I look forward to seeing you in Mobile, and to working together to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. Thank you all for the work you do for those under your care.
