Program Overview

The conference has been structured to model personalized learning practices throughout the day with more time for interactive workshops and peer networking. The usual rush from breakout session to breakout session doesn’t allow for enough time to take a closer look at exciting new ideas and brainstorm possibilities with your peers from other districts.

The agenda will include national leaders as well as innovative educators from across SWPA. Click on the links that follow for more information:
