If there is one thing that is true about The Joy School’s curriculum, it is that there is no “one size fits all” program. We meet students where they are, fix what we can fix and give strategies for the rest.

2020 Educator Seminar

Dear Family and Friends,

We are sad to report that the Educator and Parent Seminar scheduled for Monday, March 9^th, has been canceled. I just heard from Jessica’s team that she will not be coming to Texas as planned because SXSW Educator part has been canceled due to concern regarding the coronavirus.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but everyone’s safety is a top priority.

Gratefully,

Deborah
Director of Development

About the Educator Seminar

We believe it's crucial to help other educators in the community work effectively with children who have learning differences. In that effort, The Joy School holds an Educator Seminar in conjunction our Annual Luncheon, in which the Luncheon guest speaker spends an evening addressing professional educators such as teachers, school administrators, diagnosticians and speech pathologists.

This seminar is generously underwritten and offered to all education professionals in the Houston area free of charge as part of our ongoing community outreach program. Teachers also earn TEA credits by attending the seminar.
