Houston, TX - Learning Leadership Symposium

Learning Leadership Symposiums Personalize Learning
In order to maximize relevance and increase attendance, the Learning Counsel is adding an element of personalization to the live events. Each event will be hosted by a local school district in partnership with a regional office of education or service district. To address the unique professional learning needs of each hosting organization and region, a range of content topics will be available to choose from, effectively customizing the agenda and experience.

Structured, Relevant and Timely Content
Experiences are designed to engage participants on three main levels of learning, woven into a content-intensive day.

Research - As a leading research and media organization, the Learning Counsel maintains one of the most comprehensive data sets of teacher and administrator opinion, edtech purchasing trends, strengths and threats, and forward-facing system evolution in the market. A primary element of regional symposiums is the presentation of research data. This briefing gives educational leaders critical insight into the issues and pressures they are facing and provides foundational knowledge they need to inform systemic movement.

Collaboration - Collaboration, reflection, and application are the cornerstones of quality professional learning and are built explicitly into each symposium. By providing a structure for cooperative learning, participants are immersed in an application of knowledge, collaboration with peers, sharing of ideas, and making meaning specific to their own context.

Sharing What Works – Each symposium brings together some of the best and brightest in education to share their learning and successes toward a personalized and flexible learning environment. Guest speakers include superintendents, technology officers, teaching and learning executives, and practitioners who present current practice and innovations in their own systems.
