Â鶹ӰԺ The Â鶹ӰԺ Education Excellence Partnership (KEEP)

Since its inception in 2010, The Â鶹ӰԺ Education Excellence Partnership, or KEEP, endeavors to provide a forum for teachers to grow professionally. This commitment is enacted in several ways: supporting teaching excellence by facilitating critical conversations, inquiry into, and reflection upon practice; supporting teacher leadership by providing ongoing professional development to teacher leaders who then share lessons and resources with other educators; and supporting P-16 collaboration by convening school staff within multiple districts, including university faculty in support of teaching excellence and leadership. KEEP Academy accomplishes this goal by co-planning an annual conference administrated by the Office of Professional Development and Outreach in Â鶹ӰԺ State’s College of Education, Health, and Human Service and hosted by one of our member school districts.
