The Impact Series is one of the elements of a new What School Could Be Global Community program called The Atlas Gang. Each TAG member (tireless educators working to reimagine education) will host and facilitate an interactive Zoom, sharing their passion and educational expertise as part of this series. The premise of this series comes from the prompt: What is the Impact of X on Y? For example, What is the Impact of Microcourses on Student Engagement? Sessions are informative, fun, and a great way to build relationships with other educators.
