On October 20th, leaders, teachers, and practitioners will convene at the University Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the inaugural Cultivating Leadership, Effectiveness, Achievement, and Responsiveness (CLEAR) Conference. We encourage all teachers, leaders, aspiring leaders, and educational practitioners to register and attend this monumental event!
