The Martin Institute for Teaching Excellence partnered with the IDT Studio at the University of Memphis and visited a career day at a local school. More than 650 students and 60 teachers learned about our programs and discussed innovation and creativity.

John Hunter (@WorldPeaceMovie) will be Friday's keynote speaker at the 2012 NAIS Conference in Seattle.
