NewAs educational leaders, we all face the same barriers to implementing a vision for meaningful education for the whole child. A year ago, we struggled with one-size-fits-all accountability systems, mandated curriculum standards, financial constraints, traditional uses of time and space, collective bargaining issues, and the challenging effects of a changing society.
Today, that seems like child's play as leaders seek to educate students in the middle of a global pandemic. In the midst of crisis, leaders are called to live out guiding principles and you have the opportunity to keep your school's vision as your "North Star” as you help others navigate the current crisis.
Join us to learn how a shared vision and directional decision making can change your district/school and the level of student and staff engagement;
Learn what high-quality service-learning really encompasses and why it is powerful for students and adults alike; and
Learn about "Making Learning ‘Virtually' Irresistible,” an online graduate/CEU workshop that was piloted this past summer. More than 40 K-12 central Ohio educators designed high-quality service-learning projects that can be implemented whether your teachers are engaging students remotely, face-to-face, or in a hybrid format.
This session will be led by Emmy Beeson, superintendent of Tolles Career & Technical Center, and Kathy Meyer and Ellen Erlanger of Partnerships Make A Difference, an organization focused on promoting and expanding the use of service-learning and Project-Based Learning as strategies for instructional improvement, student empowerment, and positive community impact. Administrators from Tallmadge City Schools, Upper Arlington Schools, and Ridgemont Local Schools will share their experiences.
