Summer Institute for Authentic Learning and Leadership

This interactive session explores how schools and communities can leverage their local ecosystems to create authentic, student-centered learning experiences that drive meaningful change. Co-facilitated through a partnership between the DO STEM Ecosystem leadership and the Partnerships for Authentic Learning and Leadership Design Incubator, this session combines an example of design thinking in K-12 schools, real-world case studies, collaborative discussion, and hands-on problem-solving to help participants rethink how partnerships can support innovation in education. 

Come one, come all! No previous skill required - just the willingness to try something new (think juggling and/or balloon twisting!) in an effort to truly feel what authentic learning is like. With many metaphors and direct connections to the work we do, this session will allow participants to try a new skill and build meaningful connections to how authentic learning for everyone in a school -- all roles -- helps enhance the learning process.

SESSION REPEATED JULY 16, 9:55AM TO 10:50AM
