Welcome!
Thank you for joining me on this adventure of learning that we will experience together at the EARCOS Admin Conference in just a few days from now. As a cohort we will discuss, learn and hopefully create some ideas that you can take back with you to use at your schools as we wrap our heads around this new knowledge based, digital world we now find ourselves in.
This website will act as our space for collaboration and information. During the first session we’ll get everyone connected to the site and come to some common understandings of how we can use this site during and after the conference. My hope is that as a cohort we’ll come together to learn during the conference and keep the connections alive after the conference to continue to learn from each other.
To see an outline for the cohort sessions you can click on the Sessions link above or click here.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
I look forward to meeting and learning from all of you,
