The annual Pave the Way conference focuses on strategies to advance equity, increase college readiness, and broaden access to higher education in Washington State. The conference brings together educators, policymakers, and community partners from across the education system, from preschool through college. Pave the Way aims to ensure students receive the support they need to succeed, despite potential barriers related to income, race, and more.

Conference Objectives:
1.    Share effective policies and strategies for educational success among the state's most disenfranchised and underrepresented student populations.
2.    Mobilize, inspire, and engage P-20 educational partners  in Washington through meaningful professional development.
3.    Engage P-20 educators and advocates in the intersect of policy, practice, and implementation to increase progress toward the state's educational attainment goals.
This year's conference will take place November 29 at the University of Washington in Seattle. Join us November 28 for a preconference workshop focused on strategies to reengage adult learners.
