Explore The Power of Connection
Connections-based learning is one of the most effective tools teachers have at their disposal to empower students to tackle real-world problems of the 21st century. The approach facilitates teachers connecting their students to experts, communities, classrooms, and organizations so that they can learn from each other. This fosters 21st century competencies while involving students in local and global change making.
This Math and Science conference gives educators the tools to employ connections-based learning in their own classes. The focus is on taking scientific and mathematical concepts and applying them to genuine real-world challenges through connections. Join us for a packed conference of training, inspiration, and developing connections that make a difference for your students and for the globe.
