If you are attending Learning Forward’s Annual Conference Dec. 8-11 in Denver, Colorado, we invite you to join us at an event celebrating the Learning Forward Academy Class of 2024.

These educators from a wide variety of contexts and systems will graduate from the 2½ -year learning experience at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8.

Open to all conference attendees, the one-hour event is much more than a celebration of achievement for the participants. It is also a chance for attendees to learn about the ways these educators have worked to improve their schools, districts, and systems so students can thrive.

During their learning experience, academy members study research-based strategies that lead them toward solutions to their problems of practice. The Learning Forward Academy provides an array of tools to do this work, including root cause analysis, the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, and a logic model.

At the graduation, academy members will display posters offering a snapshot of their work and ways they are transforming learning for students.

Following the graduation, all conference attendees are invited to attend the Welcome Reception at 6 p.m.
