PROVIDENCE – More than 1,000 educators, innovators and thought leaders are expected to descend on Providence for the Blended and Personalized Learning Conference hosted by the Highlander Institute.
Dana Borrelli-Murray, Highlander Institute executive director, said in a statement the organization’s “focus” is the “teachers, leaders and early adopters” who account for “the heart of what makes a school thrive and grow.”
She added: “BPLC is one way in which we empower these vital change agents to create, sustain and scale best practices.”
The three-day event, April 5-7, will connect guests with educators from across Rhode Island and the nation in a hands-on approach to sharing insights, solutions and engaging in a supportive, education-focused atmosphere.
Started in 2011, the BPLC attracted participants from 32 states and three nations to this year’s event, which will take place at the Rhode Island Convention Center and nearby hotels.
Founded and hosted by the Highlander Institute, the BPLC is supported by The Christensen Institute and The Learning Accelerator. For more information, visit www.blendedlearningconference.com.
