At Prizmah, we are working to create the space for promising ideas to shine that can enhance student learning and experience. This summer, we are delighted to launch a new initiative - Learning Hubs - to grow and support you and your teaching teams. The goal of these hubs is to highlight the work in our schools and support them in sharing their expertise and practice with the rest of the field. We hope you will consider sending a small team to one or more of these hubs to ensure implementation of ideas and strategies that have been tested and successful in the host schools. After each hub, we will be running online meet-ups for each group to continue the conversation, collaboration, and growth.
