Student-centered learning is a national shift in thought and practice regarding the best learning models for preparing next generation students. The Student-Centered Learning Cooperative (SCLC) exists to facilitate faculty and staff engagement in the process of building local capacity to shift towards student-centered learning models, including components such as competency-based grading, blended learning, and personalized learning pathways.

Members in the Cooperative will provide leadership for regional, local, and school planning by lending their input and their examples while receiving embedded professional learning. With a focus on shifting towards student-centered learning, members will establish common cooperative goals and aligned activities CCIU can support, share their experiences, lend their input, and participate in professional learning experiences. The focus of the meetings will be on participant needs and initiatives.

Sessions are virtual (except for any in-person meetings, school visits, etc., as determined by participants; locations TBD).

#StudentCenteredLearning

Attention educators! We would like to introduce you to an innovative way of teaching STEM subjects to young students. Join us in this session to discover the perfect blend of children's picture books with elementary STEM education. You will learn how to seamlessly integrate narratives and illustrations into your science, technology, engineering, and math lessons. By doing so, you will be able to capture the imaginations of your students and help them gain a solid foundational understanding of these subjects.

Witness the power of storytelling as it brings even the most abstract concepts to life, making them relatable and memorable. Through collaborative discussions, hands-on activities, and creative exercises, you will learn how to use the visual and textual richness of picture books to spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and develop a lifelong love for STEM disciplines.

Participants will receive their own copy of one of the Picture Perfect STEM books.
