Come network with other PowerSchool users at our first Statewide PowerSchool User Group Conference!
Join educators and lifelong learners for the first meeting of the 2026-2027 Connected Learning Book Club. Hosted virtually on Thursday, November 12th, the Connected Learning Lead Ambassadors will hold discussion of the book, Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times by Eric C. Sheninger. Focusing on gaining skills and tools to lead innovative change in education as society and technology evolve in the 21st century.
Agenda:
Introductions and quick review of Book Club norms (will draft these to send out)
Discussion (either done as a whole group or in breakout rooms depending on size of group. Usually there are guiding questions to help keep the discussion moving. I can also put these together to send out beforehand. That way people can take notes and be prepared ahead of time.)
Closing with follow up & info on Book Club #2
Usually the meetings are no more than an hour.
Ready to Join the club?
For the 6th year (after a brief hiatus), we are bringing together the brightest minds in Missouri education. Whether you are a classroom teacher, a school administrator, or an educational leader, the Missouri Summit Featuring Google for Education is the place to be to discover fresh strategies, innovative tools, and practical solutions you can implement on Monday morning.
The goal of researchED is to bridge the gap between research and practice in education. Researchers, teachers, and policy makers come together for a day of information-sharing and myth-busting.
We aim to to bring together as many parties affected by educational research – e.g. teachers, academics, researchers, policy makers, teacher-trainers – in order to establish healthy relationships where field-specific expertise is pooled usefully.
Running a makerspace is incredibly rewarding, but let’s be honest—it’s also a unique grind. Between troubleshooting a jammed 3D printer for the hundredth time, managing inventory, and tracking down funding, it can feel like you're operating on an island.
Here at Connected Learning, we want to change that.
