Elevating & Celebrating Effective Teaching & Teachers
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 2017, 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, 14 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.
