L+D Caravan

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.

The L+D Caravan is a mobile, hyper-local professional development experience that brings L+D’s signature mix of bold ideas, human-centered design, and optimistic futurism directly to your city. Each Caravan is hosted by a local school, bringing together nearby educators and leaders to practice, prototype, reflect, and reimagine the work of education.

The Program

L+D Caravan is a reflective and thought provoking experience. You’ll be introduced to L+D’s core ideas, strategies, and tools - designed for reflection, building community, and meaningful change in your school. With flexible formats ranging from 1 to 4 days, and a rotating set of guest facilitators and program themes, no destinations are exactly alike. Each one is rooted in local needs and designed to leave you energized, equipped, and connected. This isn’t your typical PD. It’s a pop-up learning experience that meets you where you are and helps you go further.
