Over the years, schools have reported that sending teams of educators to Constructing Modern Knowledge builds camaraderie, develops a shared vocabulary of possibilities, and lays a foundation for sustained progress in the school year ahead. Since CMK is so radically different from most professional learning opportunities, it is beneficial to share the experience with colleagues from the same school or district.
That is why we offer generous team discounts for schools and districts interested in participating in Constructing Modern Knowledge. Teams of 5 or more earn a 10% discount and teams of 10 or more educators save 15%! CMK is already a bargain when compared to many “sit and git” PD events and our affordable hotel rooms may be shared for additional savings.
At my previous school, we sent a team of teachers to CMK every year for 7 years. It was the best professional development for my teams. We worked and learned together and with educators from around the world. We pushed out of our comfort zones and met challenges, and we discovered we could really shift our practices in school in meaningful ways.

What’s even more remarkable are the individual educators who have attended five or seven years of summer institutes. Register today and enjoy fabulous learning adventures this July at Constructing Modern Knowledge!
“If you want teachers to truly increase student learning in the classroom, they need to (re)experience how those students actually learn. The power in the CMK conference is directly related to amount of time teachers spend learning as students. After reconnecting to that process, our teachers walked away from CMK with a newfound energy and motivation to restructure the learning environment in their classrooms. Moreover, that energy has sustained itself over time unlike any other conferences I have sent teacher leadership teams to in the past. This event is transformational. I just talked to a teacher a few weeks ago who mentioned CMK and how it changed her thinking regarding learning.”
