This conference is an offshoot of EdLeader21, focusing on Innovation and Best Practices in Education, along with work around the Four C’s, Portrait/Profile of a Graduate, and Project-Based Learning (PBL). We look forward to this purposeful time in which to share, collaborate, and deepen our learning.
