Join us for an essential lecture by the acclaimed Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, on Monday, November 2nd from 5:30-7:30pm at Sanctuary Hall (1126 SW Park Ave. Portland, OR 97205).
Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd) is a neuroscientist, educator, best-selling author and expert in the field of human learning. His new book "The Digital Delusion: How Classroom Technology Harms Our Kid's Learning - And How to Help Them Thrive Again" pulls back the EdTech curtain and explains the research showing how digital tools in the classroom consistently undermine learning. It also explains how parents, teachers and schools can push back with purpose.
As a leading expert in the field of learning and technology, Jared testified at the US Senate about EdTech, and is an internationally sought after speaker.
Sponsored by the Institute for Families and Technology and OR Unplugged.

Critical Thinking In The Classroom An Antidote To Screen-Fueled Student Disengagement
November 08, 2026
11:00 AM EST - 3:00 PM EST
Ed Tech
A Free Event Exploring Purposeful Learning & Teaching for the 21st Century
Students are disengaged.
We know why — and what to do about it.
Student disengagement is one of the defining crises in education today. Screens, short-form content, and a culture of passive consumption have left many young people unable to connect deeply with their learning.
This event brings together leading researchers, educators, and communicators to do two things: name the problem honestly, and equip attendees with practical solutions grounded in the science of thinking.
The answer isn't just banning phones, lecturing harder or tap-dancing to keep student attention. It's building classrooms where thinking and connection become the point — and where students discover they have something worth saying.
Participants may receive a certificate for up to ten (10) Professional Development Hours:
two (2) hours on night one, and eight (8) hours on day two.

Book Club!
The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt has become one of the most talked about parenting books in the country. A #1 New York Times bestseller with more than two million copies sold, it's sparked a national conversation about smartphones, social media, and the shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood.
Join us at Beach Haus Brewery for a drink and conversation about the book, what stood out and what it means for our families.
