 Educating for the Future: Rural Education Collaborative Conference Between DCMO, ONC BOCES & SUNY On
   The Rural Educators Collaborative is proud to host its first conference, Educating for the Future, a day dedicated to empowering rural educators through connection, innovation, and shared vision. This gathering will bring together teachers, administrators, pre-service teachers, and education leaders from across rural districts to engage in collaborative discussions, explore innovative practices, and reflect on what it means to prepare students for success in an ever-changing world.

The conference will feature a welcome by NYSED Commissioner Dr. Betty A. Rosa, followed by the keynote speaker Trevor Muir, a nationally recognized educator, storyteller, and author, who will inspire participants to make learning meaningful. In addition, featured speaker Mike Fisher will lead sessions focused on the Portrait of a Graduate framework, exploring how habits of mind and essential skills can be intentionally woven into rural schools to shape future-ready learners.

Together, participants will exchange ideas, build networks, and reimagine rural education with a focus on innovation and community. Educating for the Future is more than a conference-it is the beginning of an ongoing collaborative movement to strengthen and celebrate the unique strengths of rural schools while charting a path forward for the next generation of learners.
