The Emergency Home Learning Summit - Free
The how-to summit for making the most of home-based and home-centered learning.
Whether by circumstance or choice, learning at home is now the reality for more students than ever.
We asked our speakers this question: "What do you know about learning that could dramatically help or change the lives of students (as well as parents, teachers, librarians, and others) at this moment?"
This two-month event is for everyone interested in helping students to learn, because we're having what may be one of the most important conversations about learning in the history of the world.
Understanding when, where, and how learning takes place has never been more important.
