Using Blended Learning To Personalize: A Conversation with Michael Horn
On the heels of America's forced experiment with virtual learning, many educators are seeking to take what they learned from the last year to infuse the good parts into the in-person classroom to better personalize learning for each child. In this conversation, Michael will address top-of-mind questions on how to blend learning to meet each child where she is with a personalized experience that helps educators develop the whole child. He will dive into the different configurations of blended learning to discuss how to help practice meet the potential and dig into everything from classroom practices and staffing models to questions on software and hardware.
Michael Horn speaks and writes about the future of education and works with a portfolio of education organizations to improve the life of each and every student.

Keynote:
USING BLENDED LEARNING MODELS TO DESIGN AND FACILITATE LEARNING FOR A CONCURRENT CLASSROOM
The concurrent classroom presents several challenges. It’s tough to meet the needs of students in class and online simultaneously. Often, there is an inequality of teacher attention, students struggle to stay engaged, and learning experiences do not maximize face-to-face and online learning affordances. When teachers rely exclusively on a whole group, teacher-led model, these challenges are exacerbated. Teachers can combat the challenges associated with the concurrent classroom by using blended learning models to prioritize differentiated small group and personalized 1:1 instruction, give students agency, and shift control over the pace of learning to students. This workshop will explore how teachers can use the station rotation model, flipped learning model, and playlist model to successfully engage students in a concurrent classroom.
The LHRIC Technology Leadership Institute is designed to provide participants with various opportunities to engage in discussion with experts and vendors around topics that are timely and relevant.

Keynote: REBOOT 2021
Our educational systems were disrupted in the spring of 2020. We quickly had to pivot to a new way of teaching and learning our students remotely. While there have been many challenges along the way, there have also been some successes. During this interactive keynote, we'll reflect on what we've learned so far during this remote learning experience and share best practices as we move towards an unknown future. This keynote has a unique Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type ending that you won't want to miss!

DESIGNING LEARNING SPACES FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS
Keynote: Dr. Robert Dillon
As we work through the logistics of educating during a pandemic, it has become clear that the space where our students learn matters deeply. It is essential that we design spaces that optimize academic achievement and provide the best work environment for our teaching professionals. To do this, we have to look to research and practical solutions happening all around the country. As we move through and beyond the pandemic, learning space design will be a key factor in the effectiveness of our schools, and this session provides ideas, tools, and resources to support this work.

LHRIC's TLI program offers our districts the opportunity to come together to learn about, share ideas on, and discuss excellence in teaching and learning through technology.
Our efforts each year are formed by our ability to expand upon our connections with vendors to allow you to be able to experience new technologies and how they have impacted teaching and learning. Several events will bring in many new as well as established vendors to help you plan out and realize your vision of your school district.
Participation in these member-only events gives you the best opportunity to stay abreast of the rapidly changing landscape of technology and education. The goal of the TLI Leadership Series is to bring national conferences, topics, and discussions to local venues. We continually engage with renowned keynote speakers from our field that are thought-provoking and inspiring. Network with peers, professionals on topics that are of the utmost importance and interest to you as a school or district leader.
