The Horizon Room, hosted by the Learning Counsel, is a space for educators to come together to share challenges, solutions and innovations, or just bounce ideas off other like-minded professionals. Basically, it’s about everything on the immediate horizon for schools...hence the name.
Each session we will bring in all our research, industry experience, partnerships, and connections to help educators navigate what’s on the horizon and learn from each other.
Not a member of the Network of Expo Achievement Schools yet? No problem! The Horizon Room Open Mic Sessions are open to all educators. Of course, you get more out of a membership, but definitely join the Open Mic sessions and take advantage of collaboration with peers.
ALL TIMES: 3:00pm EST

Schools transitioning to digital instructional materials and 1:1 device implementation can wind up with a huge number of resources available, but without auditing what’s being used and its efficacy in learning, it adds up to wasted time, money, and frustration. Some districts have figured this out and are willing to share! |

Selective App and Process Retirement to Unburden K12 Administration |
Sure, you have a range of digital resources available. Yes, they’re vetted by teachers and curriculum specialists. They might even be deeply integrated into your LMS or learning design. What’s your process for cycling out old for new, replacing, or upgrading? |
