ECET2KY: Engaging, empowering, & connecting through FREE Professional Learning led by teachers, for teachers

Elevating & Celebrating Effective Teachers of Kentucky

ECET2 is part of a teacher leadership movement throughout the country focused on collaboration between highly effective teachers and professionalizing the teacher profession. As of July 2016, there have been 5 national convenings, over 190 regional convenings in 37 host states, and nearly 30,000 teachers who have attended an ECET2 event.


In Kentucky, there have been four state, 12 regional and three district convenings with nearly 3,000 teachers attending. For the 2017-2018 year, we have three regional and one district event that will host approximately 1,000 additional educators. Kentucky has hosted the most in state events and reached the most educators of any state in the country.

How ECET2KY stands apart from other professional learning opportunities

ECET2KY events are planned by Kentucky teachers, for Kentucky teachers - and they are FREE - for six hours of PD or EILA credit


  • The convening agenda features workshops focused on pedagogy, teacher leadership, networking and issues and challenges specific to the region.

  • Inspiring keynotes called “Cultivating a Calling” allow teachers to hear stories of fellow educators.

  • Solutions oriented, small group discussions called “Colleague Circles” allow the teachers to have honest and meaningful discussions problems of practice with other teachers.

  • Wider professional learning communities are built and attendees can take these pedagogical ideas to take back to their schools to strengthen instructional practices and student instruction.

New for 2017 - School teams at ECET2KY

For the 2017 ECET2KY events, attendees can engage their school by partnering with administrators to bring a team of 5-6 educators and administrators from their buildings to bring back more of the learning experience to their peers and implement strategies learned at our convenings. To find out more about school teams, email MeMe Ratliff.
