Educators today face challenges unique to our changing times. Yet, even beyond debates about technology or the value of a college degree, Middle and Early Colleges continue to seek answers to more traditional questions: how do we better collaborate and align with our college partners? How do we engage all our stakeholders and foster student agency?
Let’s come together to refocus on the proven practices that anchor our work and explore how to keep these values as our North Star...no matter how much the world around us shifts.
