Presentations

This presentation covers community, teacher and peer-mentoring and presents research findings which may inform good practice.

The traditional role of library shelving and furniture has changed.

This workshop will explore a process using systems and design thinking fused and an appreciative inquiry approach to create conditions for school communities to thrive. This includes strategies to map the larger system in which you are trying to effect change; build generative and collaborative conversations; and move from reactive problem solving to co-creating the future.

The presentation will share the experiences, insights and professional learning gained from the Discover journey and its impact on the future of education at our school.

This practical workshop will offer a powerful model for a DEIJ audit of our schools, which consists of the collaborative search for “spikes” within our schools and the cocreation of “curb cuts” that can help remove them.

In this workshop, we’ll dig into the key design principles and methods for learner-centered rubric design that disrupt some of the features of the most dominant approaches in the field: proficiency scales, deficit language, evaluation-focused rubrics, performance indicators that lack clarity, coherent progression, and/or are embedded with bias in their design or use.

This engaging workshop delves into a transformative approach to educational enhancement in the Middle School.

In STEM education, so much focus is put on execution techniques that we sometimes forget how great technologies first started – from wild, out-of-the-box daringness. I reignite this natural quality in students by engaging them in pitching projects, where students motivate their visions by pitching what they want to do, why they want to do it and how it can be possible.

This workshop will guide teachers in enhancing students' traditional art pieces with augmented reality (AR) using the Artivive app. Participants will learn how to create engaging AR experiences that complement their artwork, allowing them to explore the intersection of art and technology.
