Educator's Conference - Passport to Education

Educators’ Conference – Passport to Education

RCA hosted its first Educators’ Conference this winter, and it was a big success! During the weekend of February 1-3, 2008 attendees from across the country (and globe) gathered at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel in downtown for the first Passport to Education- Educators’ Conference.  With more than 200 registered teachers/educators in attendance, the Academy was very pleased with this inaugural event, which raised about $40,000 for the school.  Teachers from across the country and world, including attendees from Cypress and Australia, participated in this unique 2-day conference. 

The conference began with a Kick-off Movie Night, in which attendees mingle, viewed The Ron Clark Story, and heard a keynote address from Ron Clark.  The following day, attendees split their time between concurrent workshops held at the hotel and visits/tours to The RCA campus.  Saturday evening, the RCA staff hosted a special Prom Night for all conference attendees.  This was our way of saying thank you to our guests.  The evening consisted of dancing, dining, picture posing, and prize give-aways, including: roundtrip Delt Air Lines tickets.  RCA even selected a Prom Queen and King for the night.   Finally, the conference ended with a Continental breakfast and debrief on Sunday morning.  Our next Educators’ Conference is scheduled for June 6-8, 2008 – Atlanta Marriott Marquis!
