Description

What is interdisciplinary learning? How can we help our learners connect their skills, abilities, and knowledge across disciplines? Though we teach as specialists, our students are generalists. Join us for a dynamic 4-Day workshop as we explore and practice interdisciplinary learning to create connections between your subject and others, helping all learners better transfer their skills, abilities, and knowledge. We believe To create deep, lasting learning, we must move our traditional subjects from strict boundaries to open borders, allowing students to transport their skills across disciplines This workshop happens Monday-Thursday from 9:00am-3:00pm.Make (What will we do?)Design a more inclusive and integrated curriculumOpen new pathways for more students to access your contentConnect your discipline to real-world examples/problems.
