Learning Counsel News is coming to your area to roll cameras and bring new perspectives based on national research about everything from chronic absenteeism to how much time teachers spend on duties they needn't be and what the teacher shortage really means plus much more. We'll be hosting local K12 speakers and panels to hear from school and district leadership.

We'll also have customized morning schedules for short roundtable discussions on hot topics related to trends and transformations, national research briefings, and our nationally recognized graciousness with a luncheon for all in the early afternoon. We value your time, and we hope you value ours for our one day of togetherness.


Full Agenda below.

  • Absenteeism statistics and contributing factors.
  • “Off-Grid” student size.
  • Growth of online structured or on-demand teacher-intersected learning market.
  • Percent of Administrators citing a model move to progressive learning rather than traditional.
  • Percent intending purchase of which technologies.
  • Biggest trends influencing policies and/or purchases.
  • Highest pressures cited.
  • Emergencies plaguing schools.
  • And much more about defining “teacher,” “student,” and what’s most valued in schools.

The final hour will be a panel of local school and district administrators answering pointed questions from Learning Counsel News, with open time for questions from the audience.

You’ll also be treated to a video showcase reel of the latest from tech companies.
