Details
Two tracks will support both individual/classroom-level teams and school-wide teams.
An Individual or Classroom-Level Team
• Individuals or a maximum of six (6) classroom teachers who are able to support each other on a collaborative project. Solo? Let us help you find your team.
• We’ll support your reimagining of an existing unit or creation of a new one that infuses successful Student-Driven Learning strategies.
• Your community of teacher teams will share and collaborate as we work together with Ted to build new strategies for student agency in your classrooms.
A School-Level Team
• Teams of 4-6 members, consisting of at least one administrator and 3-5 additional participants (teachers, support personnel, students, others)
• School-level teams will design projects for school-wide impact, supported by WSCB strategies in Mobilizing Your Community and Student-Driven Learning.
• Your community of school teams will share and collaborate as we work together with Ted to build new strategies for innovative experiences at your schools.
Both Tracks:
• School Teams are eligible for a grant up to $1000.
• Individual/Classroom Teacher Teams are eligible for grants up to $100 per team member.
• To be eligible for the grant your team must attend at least three of the four sessions (one of which must be a project coaching session).
• Ongoing coaching is available and encouraged.
• You will celebrate your learning via a short Google Slide presentation from a simple template we’ll provide. The WSCB team will feature your project at Deeper Learning 2023 in San Diego!
