Get ready for an interactive and inspiring session designed to spark ideas and energize your work with Expanded Learning! Together, we’ll dive into how these powerful programs can drive real transformation in education, creating spaces where every student feels seen, heard, and connected. We’ll learn about the framework of Expanded Learning and highlight what truly matters: equity, engagement, and opportunities for all. This isn’t a sit-and-listen kind of session! You’ll collaborate with fellow educators, share your wins and challenges, and walk away with fresh ideas and a call to action. Expect to be inspired by your peers and discover new ways to make your programs even more impactful. We’ll also take time to reflect on what this means for your own work, what’s going well, what could be better, and what bold next steps you’re ready to take.
