SUMMARY:E-Rate Made Simple: Funding Connectivity for Your School Community
DESCRIPTION:Every classroom deserves reliable\, high-speed internet—but for many schools\, the cost of staying connected can be a challenge. The E-Rate Program\, a federal initiative administered by the FCC\, helps schools dramatically reduce expenses for internet access\, Wi-Fi networks\, and related technology infrastructure. Yet despite its benefits\, E-Rate can feel complicated or out of reach for many educators and school leaders. This session will make it clear and actionable. Join Ben Sniecinski\, President of E-Rate Advantage\, for a practical overview of how your school can take advantage of this powerful funding source. \nYou’ll learn: \n– What E-Rate is and why it matters for charter schools \n– How to plan for technology upgrades using E-Rate funds \n– Step-by-step guidance for completing the application (even if you’re new) \n– Tips for budgeting and tracking Category 1 & 2 services \n– How to navigate your school’s setup in the E-Rate EPC portal \nUnderstanding E-Rate isn’t just for IT teams—it’s a must for school leaders\, administrators\, and teachers who want to ensure every student has access to the tools they need to learn and thrive.

SUMMARY:FCI Webinar: Empowering Engagement and Agency: Strategies for Student-Driven Learning
DESCRIPTION:Engaging students in the learning process not only boosts attention and critical thinking but also creates more meaningful learning experiences. At the same time\, student agency – often reduced to voice and choice – goes much further: it empowers learning to take ownership\, recognize their needs\, and advocate for their success in and out of the classroom. This interactive session provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on current instructional practices\, explore the intersection of engagement and agency\, examine the conditions necessary to foster self-directed learners\, and gain new strategies that promote active\, student-driven learning.
