Hi Guest,<\/p>\n

While we are a proud geographically disperse team who has embraced working together effectively over 5 cities and 3 countries, nothing can take away from some long awaited “in person” time. Last week brought three of our core team members together for our 5-year MAD-anniversary, school visits, planning meetings, in depth strategizing, and of course laughs, jokes, and much needed mingling. You can follow the fun\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our team is what makes every bit of MAD-learn possible and I am reminded, especially after get togethers like last week, how essential is it for us to teach students how to collaborate and work well with others. We are #bettertogether, no matter how much work it takes to get together. Happy February!<\/p>\n

The last few weeks have been busy for weather forecasters, snow plowers, and the MAD-team! From Boston to West Palm Beach, MAD-learn blanketed the East coast. CEO, Alefiya Master met with educational leaders at the\u00a0LearnLaunch<\/a>\u00a0event in \u201cBeantown.\u201d She attended sessions on STEM, Global Market Trends, Learning Engineering, met some key partners, and even took a moment to slide across the frozen pond in Boston Commons! VP of Sales, Kimberley Bynoe had a variety of opportunities to meet teachers and students at several different events, teaming up with\u00a0@coolcatteacher<\/a>\u00a0Vicki Davis and others to lead students through MAD-bootcamps in Georgia and Long Island. She also presented sessions about MAD-learn with teachers from all over the US at the\u00a02019 FETC Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Orlando. Director of Curriculum and Implementation, Gregg Stone worked with a fabulous group of teachers during a training session at The Lovett School. He even snuck in visits to see some of our favorite teachers at Upson Lee Elementary and Amana Academy. Gregg also spent a full day with teachers in Palm Beach County for MAD-learn training, noting how nice it was to work with the teachers AND get a break from the Pittsburgh winter!<\/p>\n

Welcome to the MAD-family!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We want to thank all of the schools that have either renewed their partnerships with MAD-learn or are just joining our MAD-family. We are so happy to know we will be continuing our work to help students at:<\/p>\n
