The Learning for Equity Ascend Research Network (LEARN) convenes innovative colleges that seek to improve student success and equity by systematically shifting student experience. The third cohort of LEARN (LEARN 2) will launch in Fall 2023, and LEARN 2 partner colleges will work together to explore how Ascend’s unique professional learning model can be institutionalized sustainability in ways that benefit students, support instructors, and advance strategic institutional goals.
As the SCC lead for Ascend, a team of facilitators will offer overview of the program if you'd like to join a professional learning community that works to guide this change in our classroom learning environments. We hope to see you and join our PLC's for the fall 2023 semester!
