Conversations
During each of the six breakout sessions throughout the weekend, a large number of conversations will take place. This site will help you organize your plan for the weekend and provide the relevant information for each conversation. After signing in, search through the conversations below and mark the sessions you are interested in to populate your personal schedule on the right (or below if on your mobile phone).
In this conversation, participants, with us, will compare and contrast the roles of curricular and contextual learning to hopefully gain a better understanding of how to leverage both types of learning to integrate content with experience.

Want your students to do authentic work? Want them to focus on learning rather than grades?

We’re going to start from scratch: if we were designing these systems for the first time, what would we do?
What are best practices for improving the things you’ll teach again?
What’s the role of student feedback for re-teaching?
What happens when we shift our time to intentionally improving our curriculum and practice as opposed to building new, again.
What happens when students engage meaningfully in the design of curriculum and practice?
How can shared reflection of past and upcoming curriculum foster student ownership of their learning? How does if foster collaboration?

Geared towards expanding our minds and increasing our knowledge through experiences and advice. Walk away with various resources to continue your pursuit for knowledgeable strategies on; Culture and Community, Preferred Pronouns and Trauma.
The presenters have created a media-rich resource manual for this purpose, serving as an essential toolkit for TESOL educators and field practitioners to assist students in creating their own comic books for learning and promoting English language learning through visual literacy.
Our new class, inNOVAtion Lab, is designed to offer students the resources they need to pursue their ideas/projects. Join students and their teacher as they discuss their first-year experience in self-determined, purpose-driven learning.
