Welcome to the TEA Summer Leadership Academy!
The 2025 TEA Summer Leadership Academy will be held June 5-7, 2025, in Cool Springs/Franklin.
The Tennessee Education Association’s Summer Leadership Academy (SLA) will be held June 5-7 at Embassy Suites in Franklin, TN. SLA will begin at 1 p.m. CST on Thursday, June 5.
The theme of this year's SLA is My Passion, My Community, My TEA: Building Stronger Public Schools. Breakout sessions will focus heavily on organizing, advocating, and leading in our local affiliates.
Breakout sessions are designed to build a framework of competency in the areas of leadership development, relationship building, effective communications, and membership growth and engagement. Valuable sessions on improving school safety and focusing on one’s personal well-being will also be offered. SLA will also have sessions designed just for education support professionals. Certificates of attendance will be provided upon the completion of all session evaluations.
There is no limit on the number of participants a local may have. Participation is open to all association officers, representatives, and members. The deadline to register for SLA is May 12th.
