Introduction
Picture a learning event full of energy, collaboration and interaction, where the presenters aren’t talking at you for hours, they’re sharing what’s working for them and creating space to discuss implications for your own practice. Imagine what it would be like to be at this place connecting with other educators who are working for the common good, sharing your own ideas and walking away feeling supported, connected and validated in your work. See yourself having deep conversations with your peers about what matters most in education, laughing with new friends, and connecting and networking with educators from around the city.
How Does The unConference Work?
morning: 10-10-10 strategy
Each participant to the unconference will leave with one emotionally compelling and high impact idea or strategy and a KC metro point-of-contact for follow up. Ideas are shared for 10 minutes, followed by discussion and networking.afternoon: design summits
We lead you through how to create prototype solutions to your challenges and implement them in the classroom within one-two weeks. The sessions involve brainstorming problems, sharing stories, defining challenges and exploring solutions. A Design Summit follows the lean design thinking process over ninety minutes.
