Thought Partner Events

Educators Summit

Open to: Superintendents and Educational Leaders who are Head of their Organization across Ohio.

The Jennings Foundation sponsors an end-of-summer retreat each year for Ohio’s educational leaders. Participants invited are considered the Head of their Organization and are known to:

  • think deeply

  • put thoughts into action

  • learn from successes and mistakes

  • continually work to learn, grow and improve

The event provides an opportunity for this group of professionals to step back from their day-to-day responsibilities to focus and engage with core matters of deep learning and excellent teaching.

Educators Institute

Open to: Teachers and Administrators nominated by their schools/districts.

The Jennings Educators Institute aims to energize educators, promote networking opportunities, and enhance classroom instruction.  The Institute focuses on enduring, excellent teaching practices applicable to all teachers. It is open to administrators and teachers in selected areas of Ohio and is limited to 100 participants. The Institute rotates from Northeast Ohio to Central Ohio, Southwest Ohio, and Northwest Ohio. Southeast Ohio teachers typically attend one of the three rotations depending on geographic location.

Sessions are held on three Saturdays in the fall. Those interested must complete an application and commit to attending all three sessions.
