ARE YOU FACING THESE ISSUES?

Do you want to address equity issues at your school or in your learning services program, but find it difficult to dedicate time and find resources that help you find helpful solutions that are sustainable?

 

Do you feel like you are in a silo and wish you had a community of peers to support you and find solutions that will work in your program?

Designed with learning specialists in mind, our workshop series aims to tackle the unique challenges you encounter while working to promote equity in your school or learning services program.

As a learning specialist of color, Alyson draws upon her extensive expertise as a credentialed researcher, equity facilitator, and practitioner in special education to create transformative sessions that celebrate diverse identities and drive action for equity focused change.


Say goodbye to "choice overload" as Alyson curates the finest articles and resources, ensuring you access the best and highest quality content hassle-free. You’ll deepen your learning through Alyson’s dynamic, thoughtfully designed sessions that are the antidote to the mundane "one-size-fits-all" approach of typical professional development in the field.

 

Join Alyson's workshops to break free from learning in isolation and instead become an active member of a thriving learning community. Here, your professional growth will be thoughtfully cultivated through collaboration, collective knowledge-sharing, and the support of like-minded peers, making your learning journey truly transformative.
