The document provides an overview of a meeting to discuss modern learning environments (MLEs) and readiness for change. The intentions of the meeting are to contribute to a vision for future schooling, build relationships among schools facing similar challenges, and introduce frameworks to assist with MLE planning. Key drivers of change discussed are ubiquity, agency, and connectedness. A vision for managing change over two years is presented, moving from visioning to implementation. Facilitated school visits and action planning meetings are scheduled next steps.
