Learning Experiences for the Upcoming Week
Join the Modern Classrooms Project on June 23rd for the Leadership Collaborative Summit 2026 — a free, virtual event for K-12 school and district leaders. This year's theme is "Personalized by Design," and it's built around a core belief: every student learns differently, and the best learning communities are built to act on that. You'll hear from principals, district leaders, and coaches from across the country who are making instruction more human through mastery-based, student-centered approaches — and getting real results. Every session is led by practitioners and designed to give you strategies you can act on this fall. Register here
