Gathering Recap
Gathering 2019 in Review
Dallas, Texas
November 15—November 17
Becoming Expos of Learning is also known as a re-imagining through technology of the entire experience of learning to appeal to the current culture and boost achievement. There are many parts to this conversation, and the 2019 Gathering brought those into one place with experts and the latest in EdTech.
Educators tend to focus on policies, methods and practices. At the Gathering, the focus was on how a change in structure enables full personalization – a perfect blend of traditional and online that relies on tech logistics. Schools explored a reversed-engineered model in the same way that Uber and Amazon updated their industries for superior experience. The result was role flexibility never before enjoyed by teachers and administrators.

The Learning Counsel announced this year’s National Survey Award winners at its 2019 National Gathering held in Dallas, TX.
Over 400 schools and districts responded to this year’s national survey, including many first-time responders. Past press on the winners has reached 88 million views with press across multiple media outlets as well as the Learning Counsel’s own audience of 215,000 readers in education leadership.
According to LeiLani Cauthen, CEO of the Learning Counsel, “For insiders who know the education sector, the reason these awards are a big deal is because the Learning Counsel is not joking around about what constitutes good work. Our messages year over year when we visit your local cities and present workshops, when we publish our ongoing editorial and other research, and through our Special Reports on things like Systems Leadership, being Apptastic and more are incredibly well received by district and school administrators.These administrators tell me the effect of our research on what it means to transition digitally, what the definitions of things really are and how to look at digital curriculum with a knowing and aware critical eye are urgently needed and are deeply respected.” The Learning Counsel also bestowed its two highest awards: The EduJedi Knight Award, and the Lifetime Achievement award.
