What does "flexible learning" look like? And how do we use it to re-engage our students? In this session, we will find the common path that winds through frameworks for teaching and technology integration including MTSS, UDL, the SAMR model, the 4 Cs, and more. By the end of this session, you will have a plan for what you hope to accomplish at the Summit.
