Media Savvy & Elevating Your Voice: Writing Op-Eds & Blog Posts

Your story matters

Your story is compelling. 
You are an expert.

You can move the needle on how we frame the education conversation.


Today you will:

  1. Ask questions and interact with your colleagues to incubate ideas 
  2. Discuss strategies & best practices for opinion writing
  3. Brainstorm your passion pitches
  4. Write a pitch ... Find a blog space
