20th Annual Teacher Leadership Institute: Inspiring Excellence

How do we curate spaces to cultivate curiosity yet showcase the “messiness of learning? During this session participants learn about harnessing the power of place and our natural spaces to provoke the thinking of our learners. From outdoor learning to the walls that line our hallways and classrooms, we’ll investigate their purpose as the “third teacher”. Additionally, this session lays the groundwork for making and keeping the thinking visible , determining what’s “worthy” of showcasing during our units of inquiry. Far from Pinterest worthy walls and displays, both inquiry leaders and classroom teachers will compare and contrast inquiry schools around the globe, reflecting on the ways Constructivist and our own values are reflected in our spaces.
