From sparks to wildfire: social learning stories around Navitas

When problems and questions arise, teachers naturally turn to trusted contacts for help. With a connected and engaged community, problems are more efficiently resolved and new ideas receive the necessary kindling to develop.

We’ve learned a lot already about how teaching staff connect, even when time and geography get in the way.
