For a second year, Region 16 Comprehensive Center is bringing together educators, administrators, families, and community leaders from across the region to build cross-state communities of action that grow regional capacity to innovate in education and activate systems change.
We know that committing to the full six-week book study schedule can be challenging for busy leaders. This year, we’re bringing back our keynote series to make the insight, experience, and wisdom of our book authors and editors available to all! Students, families, educators, administrators, and community members are all welcome to join us this winter.
