Local educators and administrators can learn from others making a positive impact in their communities through service and education at Wright State University’s 12th annual Learn Local Conference on Saturday, March 2, starting at 8 a.m. in Allyn Hall on the Dayton Campus.

The free professional development conference will feature presentations to help educators improve their effectiveness and relationships.

The conference will offer a variety of breakout sessions, including traditional 45-minute presentations, 20-minute presentations and 10-minute speed sessions, on such topics as culturally responsive teaching, family engagement, intellectual learning/teaching and project-based learning.
