In the past, learning groups have been spaces for robust conversations, critical connections, and community building. This fall we will be building on this great history by launching learning groups that will be rooted in new books that provoke, inspire, and explain ideas to transform education and how we approach it as leaders and learners. The first of the 2023-2024 school year is launching October 19th and you are invited to join any or all! Keep scrolling to learn more.

The model for the Learning Groups may vary slightly depending on the topic or the facilitator, but will consist of the following components: 

• Activate the AFL learning community by bringing together a diverse group of 15-50 national learners from across role, educational context, and lived experience. 

• Convene virtually for four or five 90-minute live sessions at a time that seeks to serve all time zones represented. Sessions will be spaced two weeks apart to allow for participants to process new learnings and to keep the meeting condensed and allow participants to attend multiple groups. 

• Using a shared topic, groups are anchored by either a recently published and relevant book (mailed to you) or text resources and facilitated to encourage rich dialogue, application of concepts and to create an inclusive and communal experience

   

• Cost: $149.00 per person or $449.00 for a team of 5-10 participants

  • The cost per participant is set to cover the cost of the included book, shipping and facilitation of all sessions. AFL is committed to expanding diversity in our community, and consistent with our convening processes, we are happy to offer fully sponsored participation to BIPOC educators. We also have a limited pool of funds to support other educators for whom cost would be prohibitive of their participation. Please email us if you are interested in BIPOC sponsorship or request other assistance.
