Join this session to learn how The North Dakota Personalized, Competency-Based Learning (PCBL) Cohort is practicing a collaborative approach to professional learning, while actively considering impact and sustainability in your own learning community. We will apply the constructs of learning pathways and cycles to meet a variety of learning needs and consider how collaborative refection can bring both synchronous and asynchronous participants together in a powerful space.
