SMCAA is proud to announce Victoria Brownlee as the keynote speaker for our SMCAA Fall 2025 Conference. Victoria Brownlee has worked in education over 14 years, gaining experience in curriculum development and project and leadership development.

Victoria’s keynote and morning learning sessions will be based on work done by Dr. Susan Brookhart.

Call For Presenters
Submission Deadline: May 15, 2025
No matter what gets thrown our way, we must always keep our prime directive in mind: continually striving to move our students toward mastery and excellence. This belief is the core of our 2025 Fall Conference.
This fall, keynote speaker Victoria Brownlee (with Educational Resource Group, ERG), will be sharing information on Feedback that Feeds Learning Forward. Following her keynote, Victoria will lead the morning learning session Practicing with Success Criteria. We are currently looking for teachers and leaders that want to share ideas to complement Victoria’s trainings and that want to share best practices from their districts related to our theme of moving student learning forward! We also want to hear ideas related to curriculum development in your districts that are working well for you; content area specific curricular issues that you would like to share; or even tips for struggling overworked curriculum directors.
If you believe what you can share will meet any of these needs, please submit a proposal to present at our Fall Conference. It is through the sharing of what we do well and what concerns us that makes us all stronger and more effective.
