All sessions will be recorded for later viewing, and presenters must agree to have their recorded sessions made available to attendees post-conference through the NAGC secure virtual learning platform.

The 2027 Teachers Summit Planning Group has outlined key topics of interest in these categories; details available at https://www.nagc.org/2026-teachers-summit-call-for-proposals
