This year’s conference theme is “Reimagine.” Education leaders at all levels—policy, system, school, and classroom—will lead like-minded colleagues through the tools and strategies needed to understand and implement proven, evidence-based professional learning.
WestEd’s sessions will focus on professional learning standards and education policy that can lead to equitable access and outcomes.
