This conference is specifically designed for TFA alums working as school and school systems leaders of color (including mid-level school leaders). For purposes of this conference:

A school leader is defined as anyone who is the current principal or the head of a school.
A mid-level school leader is defined as anyone who is currently working in a full-time position within a school that manages adults. These include: Assistant Principals, Deans, and Instructional Leaders/Coaches.

A school systems leader is defined as anyone who

serves as a Superintendent/Chancellor/Commissioner or equivalent of a public school district, charter management organization, or state education agency.
works at a school district or within a charter management network/organization, reporting to a superintendent or cabinet level role
mid-level school system leader, who currently works full-time within a charter management organization or district, but reports to a director-level chief.

Anyone who fits the aforementioned criteria AND identifies as a person of color or Native/Indigenous is welcome to attend, as this conference is focused on elevating our voices and unique experiences.

*Please note that TFA staff are ineligible to attend the conference, unless they are volunteering in partnership with the SLOC Conference Core Planning Team*

Interested white allies

Though we deeply value the work of White allies and the commitment White allies have made to serving low-income students, this conference is a unique and brave space for those who identify as people of color or Native/Indigenous. The life experiences, perspectives, and emotional needs of people of color and those who identify as Native/Indigenous are held safely in the planning of this conference, and that is the intended audience for this conference.
