The Curiosity-Guided Learning Institute is happening in Bentonville in just one week!
This event is bound to be a fit for you and your team if:

You're an intermediate to advanced-level educator or administrator who is interested in ways to deepen your early childhood practices and excited about authentic, inquiry-guided learning.

You're tired of "sit and get" lectures and are looking for a one-of-a-kind professional development opportunity where you can go out and explore!

You'd like to meet new professional friends or have some meaningful fun with colleagues.

You'd like to kick your summer off with a spark of inspiration and 8-10 hours of worthwhile PDR credit.

You can register or find out more on our landing page: https://bit.ly/CGLI-Landing

Please let me know if you have any questions. You're also welcome to share with others who may be interested.

Warmest regards,

Marcy, Mandi, & Team
