EduCon 2020

Through interactive discussion and sharing of materials (virtually and hard copy), we hope to create space for participants:

• To explore an expanded form of contextual learning and connect to their own school contexts where applicable
• To compare and contrast the challenges of curricular and contextual learning
• To be introduced to a new, developing educational model that utilizes the strengths of each to optimize learning

Some actionable take-aways that participants in this conversation may be able to begin to imagine implementing in their work might be:

• Connecting contextual learning (internships, service, etc.) with currlcular learning
• Working with students as the real drivers of learning
• Developing a parallel strand of learning in a school that does what it does well
