Free webinar series for “Taking Stock” begins in August

Published July 1, 2021 by Pam Gaynor

Join REL Mid-Atlantic and the Consortium for Public Education for any or all of our free webinars on taking stock of future readiness efforts in our educational systems. Webinars will address:

  • How well school and district offerings align with what local businesses want in new hires.
  • What students’ aspirations are for their futures after high school and what that tells us about our students.
  • How empowered students feel about their own learning.

Register for each session separately, via the links below. Please share this information with anyone you think may benefit. Questions should be directed to Jackie Foor.
