We are in the process of creating our schedule for our Monthly Member Gatherings. All gatherings will be held from 12-12:45 EDT once a month and will be recorded. The theme this year is People Based Learning. Stay tuned for details and an invitation.
Do you have a project, idea, or program you’ve created and want to share? School of Thought is now offering an opportunity to share with the our community. Workshops are 30-45 minutes and a presently scheduled for noon EDT. This year’s focus is on tools, books, projects and programs that support People Based Learning and represent a variety of Schools of Thought (not just one!). ♥️Fill out our Inquiry Form with your details and we’ll be in touch.
