一天只有那么几个小时, 在这个过程中,你可能错过了很多很棒的内容. Thankfully, we’ve posted a number of these resources online so you can catch up on-demand now.
In this post, we’ve gathered some of the favorite sessions and best webinars of 2021:
1. Keynote Session: Supported, Seen, and Safe: What Students and Teachers Need in the Wake of COVID-19

Have you struggled to prioritize teacher retention during this period of crisis? Are you wondering how to take meaningful action on teacher retention with limited staff capacity? 在这次会议中, we explored concrete strategies and resources to support your teacher retention efforts, 总是如此,但在危机时刻尤其如此
4. Webinar: Voting with their Feet: A State-level Analysis of Public School Enrollment Trends
We had a lot of questions after we published our report with compiled data on enrollment for district and charter schools for the 2020-21 school year. 我们的发现让每个人都很惊讶! Enrollment at charter schools increased significantly over the last year compared to district enrollment for most 州.
This recorded webinar provides a deep dive into the data and trends and what this means for the future of public education from the advocacy, 研究, 学校层面, 和家长的角度来看. 摘要? Families are voting with their feet as they seek out more options and better quality in public education for their children.
5. 课程:在创伤中教学
工作就在孩子们所在的大楼里. 当老师们回到教室时,什么也跟着回来了? 他们也受到了创伤. School may feel like a powder keg of emotional triggers as we all engage in "recovery." Schools paid deliberate attention to mental health services for our students, yet teachers are the single most crucial component of returning to normal (new normal). 请不要把它们漏掉. 我们会告诉你怎么做.
6. Webinar: Black Excellence: Partnerships Between Public Charter Schools and the National Pan-Hellenic Council
自他们各自成立以来, the fraternities and sororities of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (affectionately 已知的 as the Divine 9) have had Black educational achievement and success as the foundation of their very existence. 在这种精神, many members of these organizations have started and currently run high-quality public charter schools that are closing the achievement gap within their respective communities.
Hear how the historically Black fraternities and sororities can better support charter schools by creating their own schools and advocating for them alongside parents and students with school leaders leading the way.
7. 研讨会:T中小学抢险救灾和学校采购
The federal government allocated nearly $123 billion for PreK-12 education resources through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund, 美国救援计划法案的一部分. 经济刺激方案允许美元有广泛的用途, from addressing learning loss to providing services to support student mental health to purchasing PPE and software.
But what does this once-in-a-generation influx of cash mean operationally for your school? 在本次记录的网络研讨会中, 由国家联盟领导, 并得到成功学院爱博导航和亚马逊商业的支持, 我们为您最迫切的问题提供观点, from understanding the nuances of the bill to spending and tracking your funds to outlining best practices.
8. 会议:州立法活动汇总
在2021年州立法会议期间, charter school supporters achieved several notable wins by advancing positive charter school bills and stopping or mitigating anti-charter school legislation. 同时, we continued to see damaging charter school bills gain a foothold in a handful of 州. 这些输赢对2022年的影响是什么?
