- Accelerate Learning: Built to Last
Accelerate Learning: Built to Last
All day
12/17/2021Accelerate Learning: Built to Last is aimed at building programs, focused on academics and social-emotional learning, that last based on leadership skills and foundational systems. This program will facilitate learning around best practices in learning recovery, holistic teaching, and rebuilding agency; thereby, increasing student achievement and teacher productivity. Participants will build foundational skills to build programs that last, but will also have the opportunity to personalize their path to build more specific programs that meet the needs of their community, school, and district. The major ideas and objectives of this course align to best practices outlined in Fisher, Frey, and Hattie’s Rebound series and The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Accelerate Learning Plan.
