BRIGHT SPOTS

Your weekly source of learner-centered inspiration

Dear Educator,

I have often said that if we want to change how students learn, we must change how educators learn. In this week’s issue of Bright Spots, I am excited to emphasize the word “we” in that statement.

In light of the announcements my team and I shared this week about our collaborative work to facilitate transformational professional learning for educators, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and possibility. Together, we can create learner-centered systems that empower all learners to know who they are, thrive in community, and actively engage in the world as their best selves. I am thrilled to have change agents like you as members of our learner-centered community, and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you!

Warmly,
Katie

BRIGHT SPOT OF THE WEEK

Community Responses to Learner-Centered Collaborative!

It has been energizing to hear such positive feedback from our community about Learner-Centered Collaborative, a comprehensive professional learning organization that has emerged from Altitude Learning to continue supporting schools, districts, and states in their shift to learner-centered models of education. Your enthusiasm reminds me that there are so many educators out there who share our commitment to reimagining the future of learning for students and educators alike. I look forward to deepening our collaborations as a community to design enabling conditions and learning experiences that support whole-learner outcomes.

Let’s connect to discuss ways we can collaborate to support learner-centered shifts in your context!
