June 17-18, 2025

Welcome to 2025 Pages & Pathways: PreK - 12 Science of Learning Conference! Join us for an unforgettable experience filled with excitement, inspiration, and connection. The Pages & Pathways conference is an opportunity for regional educators to come to UND for a day full of learning on Literacy, STEM, and Well-Being topics. This year, we will feature a mix of 1-hour sessions and 2-hour workshops. This offers the opportunity for teachers to explore a lot of material or to dive deep into a few topics. There will be sessions on the Science of Reading, literacy family engagement, mastery learning, effective grading practices, engineering design, teacher burnout, and much more! In addition to learning sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with exhibitors from around the area and collaborate with each other over a provided lunch time.

Conference registration and credit registration will open on April 1, 2025
