Elevate Learning Conference (for teachers and learners) by PAIS

The Elevate Learning Conference is the annual one-day teaching and learning event by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS). This year, the event takes over the campus of Carlow University in Pittsburgh, with a single-day conference filled with nationally renowned speakers and educational workshops spanning some of the most timely and impactful issues in education today. And with optional pre-conference workshops and performances, attendees have the chance to double their time at Elevate Learning, expanding the conference offerings by an additional day.
