Coherent & Sustainable Change for Deeper Learning

Description:

Leander ISD, a rapidly growing district northwest of Austin, has committed to expanding Deeper Learning opportunities for students in the district. When the system is aligned, coherent, and consistent around Deeper Learning vs being viewed as an “initiative,” then participating schools and students have more success faster. Through an interactive discussion, we will explore Leander ISD’s journey to make that possible and what that might mean for your own efforts at sustainable change.
