SAIL is truly a product of an integrated community of educators and learners coming together with a vision for something different. Transcending boundaries, acknowledging learning in all of the different places where it is experienced, and empowering our learners to think holistically and self-direct their learning have been our guiding principles. This opening session will take you on the journey of where SAIL has come from and lay the groundwork for how, as a community, we will shape where it goes next.
