This year’s keynote speaker will be Common Core Boot Camp Co-Founder Veronica Griffin, M.Ed. Veronica will deliver a message on Empowering the ‘Why’?.
Nadera Alborno, Ed.D, Dean and Professor of Education at American University in Dubai, emphasized the importance of the event, stating, “Recognizing the pivotal role of the common core standards in shaping academic excellence, the School of Education at American University in Dubai is honored to partner with Copperstone Education to host the Common Core Boot Camp for educators and school leaders.

The event promises to be a dynamic platform for learning, networking, and growth, enabling participants to delve deeply into the common core standards with the guidance of top-tier educational leaders and peers from across the region.

Our volunteer organizers, facilitators, partners, and sponors have really rallied around our educators this year,” said Jeffrey Smith, co-founder of Common Core Boot Camp and managing director of Copperstone Education.
