Hosting a TEDxYouthday event is a terrific way to bring an experiential, connected, and authentic learning project to your students. In this conversation we will share ideas with colleagues from other schools who either have hosted a TEDx event or wish to learn more about how to host one.
Students are already expressing themselves to "the outside world" via a variety of networks and venues. What does this mean for schools? This session will explore how schools can engage with and amplify student voice in a way that is empowering for students and enriching for the learning community.
Creativity -- we know it when we see it, but how do we assess learning and improvements in cognitive skills including self awareness, rationality, and open-minded thinking? This conversation will explore possible measures and work toward framing a valuable rubric for assessment.
