Looking for a session where you can ask questions about other programs, bounce ideas, or just a comfy place to meet people?  This is your session.  The Best of Instructional Leaders Learning PLC requested a Round Table opportunity, so anyone interested can come in and talk about things they are seeing at their school or would like to try.  Maybe you have seen something at the Symposium you would like to discuss, or would like a break from the “normal”  type of session.  We are here for you!  It will be a comfortable place of conversation and openness.  We will have some fun ways to introduce ourselves, and then let the conversations begin!

Research shows that engaged students perform better academically and are more likely to complete their courses. Come learn ways to engage your students outside the curriculum with activities like on-campus enrichment days, online social events, in-person EOC reviews, and monthly online homeroom meetings.
