Learning from the Personalized Learning Convening

This past week many Kaneland teachers and administrators attended the 9th Annual Institute for Personalized Learning National Convening.  It was a great two day event to share in the journey through personalized learning.  We could not have been more proud of our multiple teams that presented and shared their story at the conference.  We all wanted to share some of the learning and takeaways from the experience.  This article shares learning from the Educational Service Department, if anyone else wants to share your take away please add it to this article as a comment.

We would love to further chat and share ideas, please contact use with any questions or interest in further discussion.

addition problem.
