Update for Oct 13-17
What happens when you give students choice in their learning? All smiles.
What happens when you allow teachers to share something they are passionate about with others? All smiles.
What happens to the leaders who see their students’ interests matched with their teachers’ passions?
All smiles.
All smiles.
I will always remember Friday, October 10, 2014 as a day when I couldn't stop smiling. It was an amazing effort to coordinate 35 unique learning sessions and 900+ students, but it was even more amazing to see the excitement, to hear the conversation, and to feel the energy that morning.
I continue to reflect on our day and I keep coming back to the question "What are the implications for learning at school?". We are starting to get past assumptions and move beyond barriers in order to connect each child’s learning experience to something bigger.
Thank you so much for making Kids EdCamp such a huge success. We talked, we dreamed, and then, we made it happen. We are beginning to explore what is possible for kids and I can’t wait to see what can do next.
