📣 Attention educators heading to the ISTELive and ASCD Annual Conference:

Our very own Chief Strategy Officer Jill Bass is heading to the Sunshine State and will be presenting along with CoGenerate 's Janet Oh on Shared Power, Shared Learning on June 30th (Room W209AB).

This session shares new research on intergenerational allyship from CoGenerate and youth voice frameworks from Mikva Challenge. Participants will leave with strategies to elevate youth voice, strengthen school culture, and build authentic collaboration in classrooms and civic life.

We invite district and school administrators, staff, and educators to join us and learn more about how to develop youth and adult partnerships to strengthen learning and improve school culture.

Hope to see you in Orlando!
