June 3, 2021
8:30 AM to 2:30 PM
learning from the past to shape the future to provide better outcomes for all students
The focus of the virtual summit was…
Reflect on the lessons learned during this groundbreaking moment in modern education and explore ideas on how to move forward so that you can capitalize on all the skills that you and your students have acquired. This virtual summit was about learning from the experiences that this time in history is teaching us and moving forward ready to support the students that we teach in being fully prepared to meet the challenges that face our communities, country, and world.
We wanted to make you think, challenge your assumptions, and most of all inspire you to continue to purposefully use the tools of the 21st century while implementing research-based, practical, and equitable practices that can be used to accelerate and amplify learning during the summer and into the 2021 - 2022 school year. We hope we succeeded and we will learn and grow as we move forward.
