Puzzle Meet 2026

Engage with Puzzles of Practice shared by members of our community; explore fresh thinking, make connections and leave with practical strategies.

Traditional TeachMeets are based on the model of teachers sharing what’s working for them; this meeting is about teachers sharing the things they haven’t quite figured out yet. These are the Puzzles of Practice that keep us awake. In the safety and collaborative space of a Puzzle Meet, participants have the opportunity to support their colleagues by offering possible next steps and suggestions that might be helpful. Our hand-picked Puzzles are bound to connect to you and your setting, and as you engage in the collective process of contemplating a colleague's Puzzle you are likely to find ideas, strategies and protocols that work for you and your setting

In a profession defined by coverage and outcomes, the Navigating Creativity: From Slow Looking to Bold Thinking conference invites a different stance, one that begins with curiosity and the courage to think differently.

Nathalie Ryan, Nathalie A. Ryan, Ed.M. M.A., is an educator, artist, writer, and musician based in Washington, DC. She is Senior Educator at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, where she has led programs for educators, families, teens, and the adult public since 2002. Her current work focuses on researching the intersection of awe, creativity, and well-being in art museums, a collaboration with Dr. Dacher Keltner and a team at the University of California-Berkeley.

Nathalie’s Keynote: Cultivating Awe: How the Science of Wonder Helps Students Thrive - What is awe and why do we need more of it? Learn how this human emotion enhances academic learning, opens us up to greater creativity and deeper empathy, and supports student and teacher well-being. Consider how you can nurture an awe mindset and leverage “wow” moments for learning and human flourishing.

Andrew Pennay - artist, researcher, and Director of Creative Arts at Brisbane Girls Grammar School - will challenge participants to navigate the tension between what he calls “schoolish” and “outlandish” creativities. His work pushes at the boundaries of convention, asking how schools might better nurture imaginative thinking.

Educators like you will facilitate workshops exploring how ideas from Project Zero can be translated into classroom practice - how slow looking can become routine, how curiosity can be cultivated, and how bold thinking can be sustained in the life of schools
