Change is the end result of all true learning.<\/span>

We were fortunate to kick off January 2015 with a return to our very successful Engaging the Digital Learner<\/strong> Series. Each year we try to find educational thought leaders that will challenge our thinking and encourage our growth as professionals. Participants attend in school teams and sit at tables so we can create opportunity for thoughtful conversation\u00a0about practice and provide an opportunity for informal and formal networks to grow. All of our attendees are encouraged to find something to take away that they can\u00a0experiment with in their classroom. With Ignites and a Keynote, along with an overactive and enthusiastic hashtag (#sd36learn) that shares our learning, each evening has become an inspiring touchpoint for educators across our district.<\/p>\n

This year our first evening focused on Learning by Design<\/strong> as Superintendent Jordan Tinney and Deputy Superintendent Rick Ryan unveiled\u00a0the district’s refreshed vision. The vision is anchored by a focus that explores new structures<\/em>, the use of tools<\/em>, and fresh ways of learning<\/em>. It provides us with a mindset with which to think about our work as we move forward as a district. You can see their story here:<\/p>\n
