Join us for an insightful professional development session titled "Unlocking Potential: A Deep Dive into the Dynamic Club Learning Environment." In this session, we will explore the purpose and framework of our alternative learning environment designed to support students with significant behavioral challenges on their journey back to a regular general education classroom.

Presenters will share our comprehensive process, highlighting effective strategies, lessons learned, and challenges encountered along the way. Attendees will gain insights into district criteria for program implementation and discover best practices that have fostered student success. This session aims to equip educators with the tools and understanding necessary to create supportive learning environments that promote reintegration and enhance student achievement. Come ready to engage, share, and collaborate as we work towards a brighter future for all students!
