Learn From Leading Educators and Innovators
DLC26 features an extraordinary lineup of educators, researchers, system leaders, artists, and innovators who are actively shaping the future of learning in classrooms, schools, and districts around the world.
Inspired by High Tech HighInspired by the globally recognized High Tech High network in San Diego, DLC26 explores interdisciplinary learning, student agency, creativity, belonging, and authentic real-world learning experiences.
