CLEE Fall Meeting 2024
Rhode Island November 7-8, 2024
Join us in Rhode Island November 7-8, 2024 for CLEE Fall Meeting!
This will be an opportunity to (re)connect with educators from across the country as we explore what leading for equity looks like in our current world.
We will:
Learn and use facilitative leadership tools and protocols to make improvements for equity
Share our collective learning and expertise on leveraging adult learning and collaboration to reach our vision of equity
Connect with a larger community who is in this work together
We will practice the heart, hand, and mind work together for two full days through tools and protocols to increase equitable outcomes for each and every student. A majority of our time will be spent in small groups that model a learning community and there will also be time for SRI/CLEE community members to present topic-based workshops.
