PL Element Focus: Learner Supports, Relevant Learning Opportunities
Engage in discussion, breakout sessions and practical activities that help you:
Explore what relevant, learner-centered learning looks like in practice
Build clarity around learning goals and learner supports
Strengthen connections between student interests and academic experiences
Identify next steps you can take right away
This is not a sit-and-get session. It’s a space to learn, observe and experiment without pressure or predetermined outcomes. Whether you’re just getting started or building on early efforts, you’ll leave with practical ideas and new connections to support your work.

A supportive environment for questions, reflection and dialogue
Helps educators move from “task manager” to designer, coach and facilitator
