The STC Forum
The Schools That Can Forum is an annual, public conference that brings together top urban educators from STC schools, innovative educational organizations, thought leaders, industry, and the community to further STC’s mission of reimagining education through real-world learning. Each year, the Forum is hosted by a different STC city and focuses on a relevant theme related to our mission. Forum attendees enjoy two days of panels, interactive workshops and school study tours that highlight practices related to Real-World Learning.
As part of our Forum, we are also honored to present the Robert F. Kennedy Urban Education Awards in partnership with RFK Human Rights. These awards annually recognize a school leader, teacher and student who exemplify the values of courage and moral leadership that Senator Kennedy held dear.
The 2019 Forum will be hosted by STC Newark on April 30 – May 1, 2019. The theme of this year’s Forum is “Advancing Culturally Relevant Real-World Learning”. Check back here for details on registration and sponsorship opportunities.

“[I love] the openness and feeling that it was a safe environment to share struggles and concerns.”
“[I learned that establishing a] school culture of respect and collaboration is the essential beginning for establishing deeper learning practices. Commitment to whole child learning is primary. There are a variety of educational pathways we must prepare students to be equipped to choose.“
