Preparing students to thrive in a rapidly changing world will require significant instructional shifts and new approaches to professional development. We must meet educators where they are and provide them with the support they need to transform their practice. But where do we start? Join Jeff Liberty to learn about what BetterLesson has learned from coaching hundreds of teachers in North America, including teachers here in Tennessee, to shift their practice towards systems of learning that are highly blended, engaging, and personalized.
