is coming to a close, but our appreciation of teachers never ends. To all educators across our LEAP networks and around the world: We Celebrate You!

👏 Thank you for your unwavering commitment to students, for leading with heart, and for continuing to reimagine what teaching and learning can look like.

👏 Our team is constantly inspired by the ways you create student-centered experiences that fuel engagement, joy, belonging, creativity, and agency for young people every single day.

👏 Your willingness to innovate, design, take risks, and continuously evolve learning experiences matters deeply. Education transformation only happens because of educators like you who show up every day believing students deserve meaningful, personalized, and empowering learning environments that drive outcomes and excellence.

All of us at LEAP are grateful to partner alongside so many amazing educators who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible for schools and students. Thank you for all that you do, for all that you give, and for the impact you make that extends far beyond the classroom.

👏 We appreciate you this week and every week! 👏

Last week in support of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) annual conference, LEAP Innovations hosted site visits to two amazing partner schools local to the conference home city of Chicago: Distinctive Schools' CICS West Belden and Intrinsic Schools!

Participating CoSN conference attendees got to see personalized learning in action, talk to exceptional students and teachers, and explore ways to provide time and space for teacher co-design!

👏 Thanks to LEAP's Stephanie Cardella for leading this experience! Thanks to the attendees who hailed from Illinois, Washington, Texas as well as New Zealand and China, and more for engaging with so much energy, curiosity, wonder, and joy! 👏 Many thanks to our hosts at West Belden and Intrinsic. 👏 We loved this collaboration with CoSN and applaud their commitment to grounding a conference experience in what's actually happening in schools, through site visits like this.👏

🌟This is how innovative, equitable, student-centered learning grows! 🌟
