Calling all school and district leaders! We are hosting a virtual Summer Summit on June 24th for leaders supporting Modern Classrooms educators. Leaders will learn practical skills from fellow leaders, attend workshops of their choice, and connect with the Modern Classrooms Project Leadership Collaborative community. Modern Classrooms co-founder Robert Barnett is our featured keynote speaker and will share insights from his book Meet Every Learner’s Needs alongside voices of students, educators, and leaders. We invite educators to share the summit with their leaders and invite leaders to register. Learn more and register here
