McNeese State University’s Burton College of Education is hosting its 4th annual Unlock Education on Friday, Feb. 10, from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on the McNeese campus. Last year’s event drew 165 students.
Unlock Education is a one-day event designed to inspire high school juniors and seniors to enter the education profession through teaching-centered sessions and activities, Q&A topic forums and Educators Rising regional competitions, according to Dr. Katie Williams, associate professor of education and director of clinical practices and school partnerships at McNeese.
Williams said area high school freshmen and sophomores who are active or interested in EdRising courses or clubs at district schools have also been invited to attend the day’s activities.
“There is also a Call for Proposals for this event for anyone who would like to attend our event as a presenter—teachers, education organizations, students. Our sessions are 40 minutes long and we encourage high engagement presentations,” said Williams.
Jan. 25 is the registration deadline for Unlock Education and Jan. 20 is the deadline for session proposals for the event. For more information, contact Williams at kwilliams1@mcneese.edu.
