Berkshire Resources for Learning and Innovation (BRLI)

The Berkshire Resources for Learning and Innovation (BRLI) is a consortium of Berkshire County school districts that began sharing their work on a learning management platform, which they had in common, in 2020/2021.

Our main goals were to ensure equitable access to high quality education, collaborate as a Berkshire education community to share resources, and develop a network of practitioners to support innovative professional learning opportunities. Our focus and scope continues to evolve to support education in our Berkshire community with a significant focus on educational technology.
