SUMMARY:CHANGEMAKER HUBS
DESCRIPTION:Changemaker Hubs are day-long design thinking experiences that bring students\, educators\, school leaders\, and community members together to explore an essential question: How can we transform education to ensure that all young people have a safe and inclusive school where they develop the essential skills they need to thrive in a complex and interconnected world? \nSTUDENT COLLABORATION | Using our Knowledge to Action Process\, students will use their own lived experiences as well as new information that they gather to think critically and creatively about what school can and should look like. \nPROFESSIONAL LEARNING | While the students collaborate\, adults will engage in professional learning around what global competence is\, why it is important\, and how to facilitate active learning experiences that build on students’ interests\, elevate their voices\, and develop the essential skills we know young people need. \nCOMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT | A big part of this day is the dialogue that takes place between adults and students. Business and community leaders\, educators and administrators\, and students from across multiple districts or schools will engage in conversation to learn from and with one another. \nOUTCOMES | Students will develop solutions to take back to their schools and districts that start conversations in their communities that will benefit everyone. Adults will gain a new understanding of the student experience as well as the tools they need to support youth-led change. \nESSENTIAL QUESTIONS | What does school feel like for young people today? What did school feel like for the adults? What are the essential skills businesses and community leaders look for in potential employees? What are the skills and dispositions that people need to be active and engaged citizens? How can our education system be more nimble so it can keep pace with a world that is changing faster than ever before? \nView Flyer
