Our recent Classroom Practices session, presented by Karla Johnson, was full of meaningful learning, reflection, and practical strategies that educators can take right back to their classrooms. It’s been incredible to see the growth and collaboration throughout this journey.

And while the sessions may be coming to a close, the work doesn’t stop here—our cohort will continue to receive coaching and support as they carry this learning forward.
Thank you to all of our dedicated participants for your commitment to strengthening positive, supportive learning environments for students across our region. We can’t wait to finish strong together!
