2020 Virtual Conference

This year has been one of the strangest and most difficult in recent history. Schools and McKinney-Vento Liaisons have been required to come together in new ways to support students in temporary housing despite the challenges of remote learning and traumatic events. This year, NYS-TEACHS will host a virtual Fall Conference in recognition and support of your ongoing work. Through a series of Webinars and Zoom discussion sessions, we aim to create a space for our community to heal, inspire, and learn. Join us as we move forward, together.
