By empowering families with choice and raising the bar for all early childhood programs, Louisiana seeks to have every child prepared to enter and succeed in kindergarten.
Teacher Leader Summit is the Louisiana Department of Education's annual professional learning conference that brings together Louisiana birth to grade 12 educators and content experts. Educators participating in the event will share their knowledge, learn new skills, and prepare for the upcoming school year.
Teacher Leader Summit 2025 will take place June 10-12 in New Orleans at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Early childhood centers, Head Start, and pre-K programs receive performance ratings detailing how well the program is preparing children for Kindergarten.
Louisiana believes that all children, including those with the most significant cognitive disabilities, deserve an education that prepares them to be independent and successful in life.
