Frequently Asked Questions
MTC and our members have benefitted greatly from the advocacy, research, and community-building work that the Aurora Institute has built over the decade plus. The Aurora team has been a trusted partner and advocate for MTC's work since our early days, so teaming up for these events was a natural evolution to our partnership. Combining events creates a unique opportunity for MTC members to maximize their own learning and growth by accessing all of the programming each organization has to offer with just one roundtrip fare.
A vital part of MTC's mission is to foster a community of members who, through collective effort, can drive competency-based learning and credentialing in our schools. Our programming this year will focus more than ever on the strengh of our network of schools and trusted organizations to support further growth in competency-based learning and systems change. What's changed is that the MTC-specific programming will be offered for one full day, immediately prior to the start of the Aurora Symposium, allowing MTC members to engage in the expanded offerings from Aurora over the following days. Two events in one, creating myriad opportunities for impact. We are also leaning into your requests to connect with us 1:1 by offering opportunities to meet with our team for consulting throughout both events.
The 2025 MTC Forum will take place from 9:00-4:30pm. Breakfast and lunch are provided, and a Happy Hour will follow.
