ACTEM2024

What do leaders at innovative schools do that is different from their counterparts in more traditional schools? Most deeper learning schools share an emphasis on applied creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving; high levels of student agency, control, ownership, voice, and choice; opportunities to engage in authentic, real-world work in local and global communities; and robust technology infusion. In this workshop we will learn from 90+ innovative schools about what deeper learning leaders do, what support structures they put into place to support robust learning and teaching, and how they maintain the motivation and courage necessary for this complex work.
