Looking for a place to learn, connect, share, and problem-solve with others who support students with learning and/or emotional needs? Join one of our Learning Support & Emotional Support Networks!

With separate Elementary and Secondary Networks, these gatherings provide opportunities for new learning, peer-to-peer sharing, collaboration, resource exchange, and real conversations about the successes and challenges of supporting students. Just as importantly, they offer a space to connect with colleagues who understand the work—and can provide ideas, encouragement, and validation.

Your title doesn’t matter. If you work with or support this population of students, we’d love to have you join us.

Come with questions, ideas, challenges, resources—or simply come ready to connect and learn from others.
