2023 Iditarod Winter Educators Conference

“Engage! Inspire!  Succeed!”

At the Lakefront Hotel

February 28 – March 3, 2023 in Anchorage, Alaska

Hold on to your sled because this conference is going to be a fascinating ride!  The theme of “Engage! Inspire! Succeed!” tells it all.  Teachers that wrap the Iditarod around and through their required curriculum know that it engages  students in learning, inspires them to work hard, and leads them to success.  We are going to do that for you!  With 3 1/2 days of engaging speakers, lessons, and activities that will inspire you to ignite that Iditarod spark in you, no matter if you are a “veteran” or “rookie” Iditarod educator, and give you authentic learning tools to “mush” your students to success.

Remember –  Educators in Alaska are able to register for single days at a special rate. Please use your Alaska school district email when you register and/or include your school name.
