Building Student Agency, Optimism, and Skills Through Solutionary Projects FULL
Thursday April 3, 2025 9:30am - 2:45pm PDT
High Tech High 150
How can we empower students with agency, optimism, and skills while improving our communities? Engage students in solutionary inquiry-to-action projects to address issues they care about in their school or community. Solutionary projects provide opportunities for students to learn and practice key skills needed to become active citizens and positive changemakers. Come with a unit or project you would like to develop or enhance and leave with ideas for fostering curiosity, compassion and inspiration; teaching systems thinking; breaking down classroom walls; moving from inquiry to meaningful action; and centering student voice and choice. This approach can be applied to any content area and is also highly effective for interdisciplinary teaching.

Lunch is included in each deep dive.
