P-12 Education Summit 2026

The P-12 Education Summit unites Indiana University faculty, P-12 leaders, P-12 connected industry leaders, state education officials, and community partners to explore fresh collaborations and tackle today's most urgent education topics. Attendees will learn from P-12 leaders, IU faculty, industry leaders, and students about experiences building partnerships, gain strategies to navigate shifting state policy, and network to strengthen or launch new programs. The annual summit is driven by IU's P-12 engagement strategies to operationalize its 2030 Strategic Plan, fostering a reciprocal relationship between IU and P-12 schools. It aims to address challenges in Indiana schools, strengthen the educator talent pipeline, and expand student options for college and career, as a key part of IU's "Service to the State" mission to strengthen partnerships, connect practices, respond to new policy, and build networks.
