Jostens Renaissance® is about recognizing all students and staff for academic accomplishments, increased positive behavior, and overall improvement of school culture and climate. Jostens Renaissance results show increased grades, attendance, pride and graduation rates. The annual Jostens Renaissance National Conference provides the opportunity to learn more about making your school a place where students belong, not just attend. And, that is just a start! Don’t miss the 2013 conference, where you’ll learn more about how to get to started—or restarted!

Conference reviews
"This was my 4th time attending and it is remarkable that you are able to maintain the high caliber from year to year." "The sessions I attended focused on how I can not only be a better educator, but how to be a better person. I wasn't expecting that. Thank you."
"This conference is always great! Excellent speakers, excellent sessions, and excellent extras!"
"The broad range of sessions accommodates the "newbie" as well as those people who have been involved with Jostens Renaissance for a number of years. I was a "newbie" and now it all makes sense to me. It truly was a wonderful experience to see all the excitement from those attending, pick up new ideas to take back to my school."
"The conference addressed specific points of interest, questions and suggested answers…the speakers were engaging and genuine…"
"This conference reminds us as educators how to teach children – not just to teach to a test, or a subject, or an ability. I came with 8 teachers and we ALL came back excited about our year ahead and cannot wait for another reminder from Jostens next year."
"The Jostens Renaissance National Conference is like a professional revival -- designed for all levels of teachers, from a 1st year teacher to those who've been teaching for 25+ years."
One educator stated, "For me, the breakout sessions were the most valuable [part of the conference] because that is where I received ideas that I can bring back and use at my school."
