Fall Expansion Playbook: Clubs, Electives, and PD Ideas

Expand Programs Without Rebuilding Your Schedule

Whether you are launching a new club, testing an elective, or helping teachers explore new technologies, this guide offers flexible models that can work across different schools and grade levels.
