Pre-Summit Professional Development Sessions | NCTSN Pre-Summit Meeting Agenda
MCEC is proud to continue serving military-connected students by convening our 24th annual event. We have an inspired and renewed commitment to level up the learning opportunities for everyone who serves and supports the educational needs of military- and veteran-connected children.
The content for our 2022 MCEC Global Summit theme, The Journey of the Military Child, will build on a whole child and holistic approach to military-connected youth. Emphasis will focus on supporting and nurturing all areas of development and learning while incorporating a broader view of the skills and knowledge military-connected children need for long-term success.
The 2022 MGS will feature session content exploring:
• Well-Being (balancing emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental health for #MilKids)
• Academics (strategies and policies that provide access to opportunity and foster learning)
• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (practices that promote respect, dignity, and mutual concern)
• The Purple Star School Designation Program (a state-by-state model of best practice commitment to serving the unique needs of military-connected students; MCEC is the National Advocate for the Purple Star Schools Designation ProgramTM)
The 2022 MGS will be a hybrid event. As excited as we are to once again be planning an in-person component, but will provide a virtual component for folks unable to join us in DC. For those who will be joining us in person, Southwest Airlines is our preferred airline partner for travel to this event. MCEC is proud to partner with Southwest Airlines and encourages you to visit their website for further travel details. See our Hotel & Travel section for more information.
