Today is our first meeting of our respective Collaborative Learning Communities that will lead us on a journey of reflection about our impact on learners and to begin to identify evidence that validates our desired impacts on learning. 


Our definition of learning:
 
Learning is a life-long process of developing knowledge and building understanding. Learners engage with and reflect on new information to make meaning and connections to the world around them.
