New! Pioneering! The LERN Dashboard has the 6 most important data points for your organization. Each organization gets an analysis comparing its own data with the results of other organizations nationwide, along with a LERN Ideal Benchmark if relevant.
The data is provided by size of community, and by these institutional settings: Recreation Departments; Community Education in Public Schools; Community Colleges; Universities; and Other.
This means your LERN Dashboard can be compared with other organizations in the same institutional setting and size of community.
8.Virtual Gatherings.
A pandemic innovation so popular we have continued it post-pandemic. A panel of 3-4 practitioners from around the country report on current success, issues and their outlook moving forward. We hold Virtual Gatherings twice a year, online.
