*SummerSpark Cohorts will be assigned to allow teachers from different schools, divisions and disciplines come together and meet and talk since a major component is extending our networks and collaboration. Although they will not have to stay together it will ensure at least some cross-pollination that will hopefully carry on throughout.
Opening Session:
Greeting from Mark Desjardins, Head of School, St. John's School
Explanation of Cohort Groups and dismissal to groups
Tony Brandt:
As a special treat, our Keynote speaker on Friday will be Dr. Tony Brandt (http://music.rice.edu/facultybios/brandt.shtml). St. John's has been fortunate to have Tony speak on creativity in education a couple of times, and teachers come out of his talks energized. What is unique is that Tony wants to learn as much from us as we hope to learn from him. We are very excited to have Tony come and speak to us at SummerSpark 2013!
