The Power of ICU Summer Professional Development Conference will be held July 10-11, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee, for district, school, and classroom level educators looking to learn more about or strengthen and deepen the implementation of ICU. Keynote and breakout sessions will provide practical strategies from over a dozen veteran educators with over 50 years combined ICU success.

  • Learn from practitioners who have defeated student apathy at their schools, making assignment completion the norm
