We love and believe in Open Schooling BUT...
The Open Schooling Together group - a partnership of eight European projects on Open Schooling - is inviting you to rethink learning boundaries and discover how schools and students can be supported to become agents of community well-being through the practice of open schooling.
This is an opportunity for all educators who work with schools, to gain inspiration and reflect together with other institutions that have been experimenting with new methodologies of learning. During the workshop there will be a collection of talks, a period of reflection and some practical exercises.
There are many challenges that occur when developing, testing and implementing new learning approaches with schools and their communities, and this workshop will introduce you to innovative pedagogical tools which will help you to find solutions. By the end of the workshop, participants will discover how to transform formal science education with the help of actors from within the community: teachers, policymakers, researchers and other societal actors. The tools and skills learned will help to tackle many different obstacles on the road towards open schooling.
Marc Fuster, Analyst at OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation and Jeffrey McClellan, founding principal of MC2 STEM High School in Cleveland, will give inspirational talks on how education must change to prepare students for what lies ahead in the future and how to help more traditional schools find workable avenues to experiment with innovative techniques.
