Engaging All Learners

Our Inquiry:  How do we engage diverse learners so each student is successful?

Our inquiry, led by Leyton Schnellert, includes teachers from five high schools participating in a lesson study together followed by an evening conversation open to all educators. 

We learn by learning together.
