Teach Out Loud was founded in 2022 by three Acadiana educators, Morgan Mercado, Taylor Wallace (DoubleDutyTeachers), and Andre Deshotel, who saw a need in the education field. Teach Out Loud is holding their fourth annual conference for teachers, by teachers to grow a network of educators to connect, inspire, and learn. It will be on Saturday, November 7th, 2026 from 9-4:00 at the UL Lafayette student union. We are a continuously growing network of educators brought together to connect, inspire, and learn. With the support of the Pugh Family Foundation and hosted by the UL College of Education and Human Development, your $30 registration fee will give you access to professional development sessions, an exclusive keynote, lunch, a t-shirt, giveaways, and more!
