A free member account.
You don't need your school to be a member to be part of the MLCN orbit — and you don't have to be a classroom teacher. Whether you teach, lead a school, work at a partner org or state agency, push on policy, or do research, sign up to get the quarterly letter, the resources library, the member directory, and member rates at partner workshops and conferences.
Light footprint, real connections.
The quarterly letter
Short. Honest. Stories from member schools, calls for participation, and ideas for building schools where every student can thrive — written for anyone building learner-centered schools in Minnesota.
The resources library
Research, articles, books, videos, and talks the network keeps coming back to — tagged by principle, so you can start from whichever one you're working on.
The member directory
Educators, school leaders, partner orgs, and researchers across the network — search by role, grade, or principle, and reach out directly. List yourself when you're ready.
The Strength-Indicator, up close
The full survey for all four audiences, and a guide to reading its reports with a live example — see how member schools measure learner-centered practice.
Events and member-rate workshops
RSVP to network gatherings, cohorts, and school visits, plus reduced registration at partner conferences and events across the student-centered-learning ecosystem.
A door into the network
When you're ready to bring your school in, we know who you are. The school-level membership process gets easier from a warm start.
What the school-level membership adds.
A free member account is for you, the individual. A school-level membership wraps your whole school into the network — the Strength-Indicator tool for educators, students, and caregivers; compensated network contributions; in-person school visits; and a seat at the table when MLCN shapes what comes next.
If that's the right scope, start with the school application instead. If it isn't yet, the free account is the right door.
Sign up in under a minute.
One email, no fee. You get the quarterly letter, the resources library, the member directory, and member rates at partner workshops as they come up.
