Our hosts, The Institute for Personalized-Learning Team, are providing us with the opportunity to:
Participate in 4 learner-centered site visits which are unique experiences designed to provide access to secondary learner centered classrooms and programs.
Engage in professional learning time with the I4PL Staff to process what we see during site visits and apply to our work regionally, as well as make connections with the state level work of SRSN (The Success Ready Student Network).
Experience a design session which will provide teams a process and framework for designing their own plan to implement personalized learning in your district.
Walk away with concrete strategies to learner-centered practices for your classroom, school, or district.
This is a unique opportunity to learn from current practitioners and see firsthand how personalized learning can transform the learning experience for students.
