Close to 1,000 educators are gathering in Morgantown this week for the West Virginia Department of Education’s INVEST (Infuse, Network, Value, Engage, Support, Target) Symposium. This is the second INVEST conference held this summer with the first offered in Charleston in June. 

The week-long event brings together educators from across the state’s northern region as they prepare for the upcoming school year. 

INVEST workshops focus on engagement and effective instructional practices for English language arts, mathematics and more.

Educators will engage with exercises to strengthen their skills and knowledge base. Additionally, teachers will have the opportunity to make connections with their peers from across the state and share their experiences and expertise.

The WVDE will share updates on various initiatives, state code and West Virginia Board of Education policies.
