Event Details
L+D's 3-day, topic-based experience is rooted in local needs and designed to leave you energized, inspired, and connected.
Each day focuses on a timely and essential theme:
- Student Life + Well-Being
- Leadership Presence + Feedback
- Leaders of Color: Storytelling and Visioning
This isn't your typical professional development - it's a dynamic learning experience built for collaboration and creativity. Attend with a team from your school to maximize impact, or join à la carte for one or two days that fit your goals. Think of it as a music festival for educators - three days of connection, reflection, and growth.
- L+D recommends that schools send a small group of educators each day they participate.
- Buy for 1 day, 2 days, or all 3 days for your school.
Each Caravan Tour is hosted by a local school, bringing together nearby educators and leaders to practice, prototype, reflect, and re-imagine the work of education.
ISAS is proud to partner on this series with
