More than 1,300 teachers and other certificated staff gathered in late August at Issaquah High School to get ready for the new school year at the annual ISD Conference.
The event included a keynote presentation by Dr. Richard Villa, an expert on inclusive education, who spoke about the importance of designing schools where every student belongs and receives an education that builds on their unique strengths.
Teachers chose to from among dozens of sessions about a wide range of educational topics designed to help them grow as educators and help their students succeed.
