Catherine Wolfe, Associate Principal and an Accredited Learning Environment Planner, presented at the New York State Council of School Superintendents (NYSCOSS) Fall 2021 Leadership Summit in Saratoga Springs, NY. Catherine co-presented with Dr. Mark Potter, Superintendent of Schools of Liverpool Central School District, and Daniel Donovan, Associate Principal, Ashley McGraw Architects. The session was titled “Adapting the Educational Experience: Converting Crisis to Opportunity.” As part of the session, they took the lessons learned from Liverpool CSD over the past year and explored how future planning and adaptation of the collective learning environment, comprised of people, curriculum, and physical space, can facilitate connections between the student and their educational experience in a way that not only empowers and engages them for learning, but also for life.
