What We Do
LearnLaunch is dedicated to engaging, convening, and leading New England’s education ecosystem to drive innovation and transform learning. Our Mission at LearnLaunch is to achieve high-quality equitable learning for all students. We engage school and district leaders to embrace and manage change to unleash the power of innovation in education. We convene New England’s education ecosystem at our Across Boundaries Conference which explores the cutting edge of learning and teaching with educators, entrepreneurs, investors, and educators from across Pre-K to gray. We lead New England’s education ecosystem by working with policy leaders to help deliver high quality, equitable, teaching and learning.
Engage
Building Blocks Tool
The Building Blocks is an online planning framework designed by education leaders for education leaders. The framework categorizes the 10 most essential instructional elements for achieving equitable, high-quality teaching and learning amidst the challenges brought about by the pandemic. The tool allows school and district leaders to engage in a simple, streamlined planning process. Within each category, state and national resources have been synthesized and organized to be easily discoverable so educators can quickly find the solutions and resources they need.
Massachusetts Workshops
Combine expert insights with peer learning in Building Blocks virtual workshops. Since the beginning of lockdown and school closures LearnLaunch has been working with the Department of Education of Massachusetts to provide free workshops for Massachusetts district and school leaders. Our virtual workshops combine expert insights with peer learning aligned to our Building Block Framework.
Custom Professional Development
We offer high-touch solutions exclusively for your central office and school leaders, including small group virtual workshops to help set district-level and school-level priorities through a needs assessment based on our Building Blocks framework. These workshops are tailored to the guidance set by district and state leaders. Schedule a consultation to discuss our current solution offerings or explore other options.
MA Personalizing Learning for Equity and Excellence
The Massachusetts Personalized Learning Edtech (MAPLE) Consortium is a public-private partnership between the LearnLaunch Institute and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to catalyze personalized learning in the Commonwealth with the purpose of better preparing students for their future.
Convene
Annual Across Boundaries Conference
Across Boundary brings together a diverse set of voices to discuss the most challenging questions facing teachers and the edtech industry today. Sponsorship highlights your voice as a leader in the field to a targeted regional audience with national exposure. In 2020, we had an audience of over 1,500 educators, entrepreneurs, and representatives from industry and investors. Seventy-five percent came from New England, but the remaining quarter represented over 30 states and a dozen countries.
