We are excited to try a new program to help you plan your experience at the 2016 NESSC High School Redesign in Action Conference. PLEASE NOTE: That all sessions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Adding a session to your personal agenda does not ensure yourself a seat in the session, but rather a way to help you plan where to head.
If you need help with your sched.org account, please contact Becky Vance, rvance@greatschoolspartnership.org.
Project-based learning has the power and potential to transform the culture of a school community. At Cabot School, we are deepening our project-based learning pedagogy--and student learning--through rigorous, real-world, collaborative, interdisciplinary experiences infused with the arts and oriented toward social action.
This interactive workshop will provide an overview of exemplar projects that support students in building proficiency in the arts (e.g., National Core Arts Standards) and transferrable skills. Presenters will share and explore ways in which all teachers can be empowered to infuse arts standards and cross-cutting skills into their classes to ensure authentic engagement and deeper learning.
Participants will be provided with time to develop project ideas using a variety of tools, including a web app built by the presenters while on a 2014 Rowland Fellowship. They will leave with models, strategies, and tools to design learning experiences that provoke inquiry and fuel the creation of authentic products that are relevant to students and have meaning in our world.
