Morning Sessions
“The Why” Behind Personalized, Competency-Based Learning
With the rapid pace of change in how we work and learn, we all need to think differently about how we prepare students for college and career. Attendees will establish the why behind personalized, competency-based learning.
Foundations of Personalized, Competency-Based Learning
Attendees will learn actions to grow learner agency, including classroom practices and social-emotional learning strategies. Attendees will consider frames for developing a local vision for personalized learning, and considerations for scaling personalized learning system-wide.

Afternoon Sessions
Building Effective Feedback Loops
If you’re going to personalize and innovate, you will need strong teams with the ability to coach one another. Participants will be introduced to Constructive Learning Design’s 3-D Model of continuous improvement, and learn how teams of teachers and other educators can give and receive feedback throughout the learning cycle to improve teaching and learning.
Coaching Conversations
So much of coaching and collaboration happens through conversation. How do we harness the power of questions and listening to coach teachers through cycles of teaching and learning? Participants will learn questioning and listenting that can be used with teachers, students, and others to drive learning and growth.
