SESSIONS

The three modules—two asynchronous and one live—are meant to prepare you for an experiential hands-on learning environment centered on designing and executing a social entrepreneurial project for your students. Since you all teach many different grade levels please utilize your experience and judgment to fit the content and exercises into the appropriate classroom experience for all diverse learners. Simulations, case studies, off-the-shelf modules, digital programs, etc., simply will not work well in this type of qualitative environment. Students will need to think freely, creatively and critically, brainstorm with peers, communicate with adults and iterate often.

One size does not fit all! This is not formulaic (sorry state standards, lol). Finally, you have to coach but not teach. Let them struggle. They will not feel comfortable at first. They want the answers and quickly. But, they have to think, plan and execute. Build grit and resilience. Not everything will work nor will it fit easily into place. You are pros and know how to think on your feet and beyond the box—that’s the formula for success. I am here to help you succeed during and after this PD.
