Passionate Educators. Limitless Possibilities.
Because you do more than just check out books.
Did you know twice as many schools with full-time librarians or media specialists have above-average student scores? You’re truly making a difference and impacting student outcomes. Why? Because you’re all about collaboration and have the same goals as their teachers. You want to help aid in the development of a student’s critical thinking and analytical skills so that they’re successful.
But let’s be honest. In today’s world, being a teacher-librarian is tough. It’s easy to feel like you’re alone and under attack in this thing. And all you care about is creating a library media program that’s full of diverse, relevant literature to equip your students for the future.
There’s nothing you don’t do. You coach. You curate. You teach. You help transform learning. That’s why TCEA is the place for you. It’s a place full of possibilities and filled with passionate people just like you. It won’t be just you here. You’ll make meaningful connections so that you leave feeling fully supported. It’s an incredible conference with life-giving energy and the chance to discover things you never imagined possible. This is the kind of learning you’ve always hoped for. It’s the kind of learning that will change the story of education.
And it’s going to change your story. Because you do more than check books in and out. Are you ready to explore the intersection of passion and possibility, curiosity and discovery, education and technology?
