Session Description
Join Laura for a roundtable discussion about the integration of iEARN projects in our class curriculum. What are the challenges and success stories? How do you access student learning? What projects do you presently participate in or are interested in that connect to the Sustainable Development Goals for the coming year? By sharing our experiences and collaborating, we can all find ways to authentically integrate iEARN project learning in our schools.
What will educators learn and be able to do at the end of the session?
The objective of this session is to have a conversation about how educators have been able to integrate iEARN projects in their curriculum. What have their successes been? What difficulties have they faced and how have they been overcome? How is project participation accessed? Participants will have the opportunity to network and share their contact information with others to continue their conversations or connect with each others classes.
