Join us in Miami, FL, Oct. 29-30, 2024, for our next Title II-A Symposium. This two-day learning event is designed to help districts strategically plan, implement, and evaluate their use of Title II-A funding to support comprehensive professional learning in their systems.
Through this event, Learning Forward will help you advance the sustainability and integrity of this grant by providing a comprehensive training and support network to Title II-A grant managers. Developing a learning experience that amalgamates Learning Forward’s Standards for Professional Learning, Title II-A statutory requirements, and best practices is the first step to ensuring that our school systems continue to receive annual professional learning allocations and that those funds are leveraged for maximum impact.
