2023 WISE CONFERENCE

6th Annual WISE Conference to be held on July 11-14, 2023.

The WISE Conference is an educator formation initiative sponsored by the Center for Catholic Education at Aquinas College.

Participation in the WISE Conference will provide an opportunity for all persons involved in Catholic education to deepen their understanding of the unique nature and mission of the Catholic school. Resuming after a two-year hiatus as a result of COVID, it is even more important to come together as Catholic educators, as all of society emerges from the isolation and the challenges caused by the pandemic.

What educators learn and experience through WISE helps them to assess the depth and expressions of Catholic identity in their own school communities and to understand how their mission as educators impacts the total school community.

Why is the conference called “WISE” ?

WISE stands for Witness, Inspire, Serve and Educate, necessary attributes for a Catholic school educator.

Who Attends WISE?

Catholic school superintendents, principals, vice principals, pastors, teachers, board members, parents, and staff! Teams of three from each participating school are very effective, but a school may send as few as one delegate. The program is limited to 30 participants.
