For Districts
Let’s Talk Tuesday
Real Conversations. Relevant Topics. Rural Impact.
Great ideas start with great conversations!
Hosted by CEN’s School Impact Team, Let’s Talk Tuesday is a monthly virtual gathering designed to bring rural educators and school leaders together to connect, collaborate, and tackle the topics impacting schools today.
From P-TECH and career-connected learning to student success and innovative instructional strategies, each month brings a fresh topic, practical insights, and opportunities to learn from one another.
This isn’t another webinar. It’s a conversation! Ask questions, share experiences, exchange ideas, and hear what’s working in rural schools across our network.
Join the Conversation!
Let’s Talk Tuesday meets virtually on the second Tuesday of every month at 10:00 AM CT. Come when you can, stay as long as you’d like, and be part of a growing community of rural education leaders.
