ConnectED is excited to officially announce the return of PoPPCon (The Power of Pathways and Partnership “unconventional” Conference) to San Diego on January 30-Februray 1, 2023 (see the flier!). ConnectED is partnering with Illuminated Collective, the San Diego County Office of Education, and many others to provide a great learning opportunity for all of those interested in or wanting to dig deeper in the college and career pathways approach to transforming their schools.
This is billed as an “unconventional” Conference as participants come together for lunch and an activity together on January 30, choose their own adventure specific to their interest and go deep on that topic at various locations in San Diego County on January 31, (and) then come back together on February 1 to debrief with their team and share a particular problem of practice and discuss solutions. For more information, go to https://illuminatedcollective.org/PoPPCon-2 or to register go to https://tinyurl.com/SDPoPPCon2024.
We hope you, and a team of your colleagues, will join us for a learning rich experience in San Diego!
