Teachers Conference

October 10-12, 2025

The effectiveness of our schools depends significantly on the vision and experience of our teachers.

At Teachers Conference, teachers take a step back from the day-to-day practices of school and focus on personal, spiritual, and professional development and refreshment. We offer the event to strengthen their vision and long-term commitments to building God honoring, Kingdom-oriented schools. Our annual themes focus on practices and enrichment for long-term teachers*. Teachers Conference features main sessions, breakout sessions, and space for reflection or networking with other teachers.

For many teachers, Teachers Conference falls a few weeks after their school year has begun. This warm and relaxing weekend provides a chance to catch your breath, be refreshed, and gather renewed energy for Christian education in the year ahead.

The keynote addresses for Teachers Conference 2025 will be given by Dan Rutt, administrator and teacher at Terre Hill High School. The talks will focus on the Foundations of Education.  Dan will draw on his years of experience to discuss foundational concepts regarding the purpose of education, regarding the individuals who are involved in education, and regarding the process of education.

The conference will also offer breakouts for teachers of all levels. Breakout speakers planned for the conference include:

• Regina Brubaker
• Melodie Beiler
• Deborah Shank
• Karen Yoder
• Marilyn Martin
• Nathan Yoder
• Joseph Miller
• Josh Nisley

*If you are looking for an array of practical topics and application for both new and experienced teachers, consider attending Teachers Week, held in August each year.
