San Antonio, TX - Learning Logistics & Tech Tour '24
When: Feb 27, 2024
Where: Southside Independent School District, Judith Lozano Professional Development Center - Room 108, 1680 Martinez-Losoya Road, San Antonio, TX 78221
Learning Counsel News is coming to your area to roll cameras and bring new perspectives based on national research about everything from chronic absenteeism to how much time teachers spend on duties they needn't be and what the teacher shortage really means. We'll be hosting local K12 speakers and conducting interviews about school and district leadership plans and good works.
We'll also provide customized morning schedules for short discussion meetings on hot topics related to trends and transformations, useful research briefings, and our nationally recognized graciousness with a luncheon for all in the early afternoon. We value your time, and we hope you value ours for our one day of togetherness.
Do you want to be interviewed/present?
Not sure what to present on? Apply to be interviewed/present thru registration and we will work with you on topics that showcase your work against national trends.
Present to our large national audience in recorded sessions and additional millions of viewers with social media and syndication. Sign up thru registration to be considered of a handful of interviewees/presenters from the entire region at the one-day studio tour event.
Analysts then work to schedule your recording slot and your discussion rounds. Being selected to be interviewed/present is free, but the Learning Counsel requires a time commitment for presenter/teams to take advantage of the discussion rounds which help review their work against national best practice models. Some of the rounds may include Learning Counsel sponsor participation.
In most sites we will have a separate quiet room for interviewees/presenters to work between speaking and rounds if their schedule is not contiguous.
Do you want to participate and network?
The luncheon is crafted to bring value from Learning Counsel’s national research into topics related to trends, curriculum programs, technologies, and working strategies.
These trends set the stage for asking the hard questions of school and district administrators.
The final hour will be a panel of local school and district administrators answering pointed questions from Learning Counsel News, with open time for questions from the audience.
You’ll also be treated to a video showcase reel of the latest from tech companies.
You can also register to attend for a schedule at the morning challenge rounds. Limited seats, lots of possible topics although not all will be presented in every city.
