What do ProLearn activities look like?
A number of activity types have been offered in the past, and now that we are launching our professional learning networks/PLNs we look forward to broadening our range of professional learning formats as time evolves.
1. Events
Our small events, in person and/or online, all address areas of interest that we weave together in person at ATLE's large events - the Emerge Conference, in May, and ATLE's signature annual event, the Convergence Conference, in October.
