We are looking forward to coming together with school leaders, coaches, and teachers at our 3rd Annual Summer Summit in Orlando, FL! In the spirit of collaboration, this day-and-a-half professional learning experience will provide opportunities for teams to learn from experts and one another.
This summer’s theme is “Igniting Curiosity and Inspiring Change." Participants will engage in hands-on learning and rich conversations to deepen their knowledge of the best research-based practices to meet all students at their point of need. Customized for Florida school and district leaders, coaches, and classroom teachers, participants will leave with actionable strategies, tools, and resources to utilize Collaborative Classroom best practices in any setting.
Purpose: Increase research-based reading and writing knowledge, share implementation best practices, network with other schools, and collaborate with the team at Collaborative Classroom.
Intended Audience: School and district leaders (administrators and coaches) and teachers (new, veteran, or prospective program users of Collaborative Classroom programs).
