During these events, participants will experience the energy of Big Picture Learning’s school network firsthand.

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn from BPL leadership how BPL’s programming can be integrated into a traditional school schedule, can be beneficial for all schools and districts, and is an appropriate program for i3 and Race to the Top funding submissions.
