Minneapolis, MN, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Educators and student leaders from across North America gathered in Orlando, Florida on July 16-18 at the annual Jostens Renaissance Global Conference (JRGC). The annual conference is centered around the Jostens Renaissance framework that helps build a culture where teachers love their jobs and students thrive in school.

Hancock Country School District Superintendent Rhett Ladner shared, "JRGC fosters collaboration and innovation among StaffultyTM and students, which is why I look forward to attending each year. As a superintendent, it's important to me that we continuously seek ways to enhance school culture, student achievement and staff engagement, and that's what JRGC provides. It also just makes my life better!"

The conference offered more than 100 breakouts, inspirational keynote speakers and general sessions that modeled key concepts like celebrating achievements in academics and character in relevant, meaningful ways. Attendees learned practical strategies to improve educator morale, academic achievement, character development and overall climate and culture.
