The College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi hosts an annual School and University Partnership Conference of Education (SUPCE), where teachers, future teachers, school leaders, community members, university faculty, and the business community focus on educational challenges, learning opportunities, community engagement, and professional development. The 2022 conference theme focused on the #heartwork of recruiting and retaining teachers and included a powerful keynote speaker and sessions in areas such as the recruitment and retention of teachers, STEM, and digital learning. Based on positive feedback from participants on the importance and impact of the conference, the planning committee plans to continue it in 2023.
