Now in its second year, and as part of her Show Up initiative, Utah First Lady Abby Cox will host “Show Up for Teachers” – a conference for Utah educators focused on their emotional and mental well-being. Over 2600 educators and community leaders are expected to be in attendance – more than twice the amount in attendance in 2022. (2022 videos here and here.)
Keynote speakers will include Arthur C. Brooks and Michael Bonner, and 48 breakout sessions will feature leading presenters on topics such as classroom management, personal finance, goal-setting, stress management, conflict resolution and more.
Educators will also receive free professional re-licensure points from the Utah State Board of Education or credits from Southern Utah University. Thanks to sponsorships from local businesses, including headlining sponsor the Clark & Christine Ivory Foundation, the conference is free of charge to educators.
Educators will also receive discounts, donated gifts and more from 125+ local businesses including Beehive Meals, Denik, Albion, Pura, Lifetime Fitness, Swig, Success in Education, TruGolf, the Utah STEM Action Center, Cyprus Credit Union, Splash Summit Waterpark, Crumbl, the Clark Planetarium, Ahhhsome Relaxation, Instructure, Enso Rings, and beyond.
