Top 3 Reasons to Come to 21st Century Learning Night
and
2 Sneak Peeks!
This Friday Five is brought to you by the Thursday Three (Thank You Erin Reichert and Chris Brockman). To keep with the Five format I have added two sneak peeks! Make sure to read about Act 48 and How to register to present! Questions, see/email me (Cara), Erin, or Chris!
1. Last year we had over 40 faculty presenters, over 800 attendees, and it is one of the top events the Curriculum Office organizes each year!
In addition, we have raffles and door prizes for all presenters and guests!
2. Many teachers invite students who "run" the table and to help showcase the topic. Those students feel honored to be asked to come and share their work, as well as gaining a feeling of community. Typically their parents feel very honored and happy to bring them on the night of the event.
In addition, have your considered signing up with another teacher? By doing so, this allows you to take turns at the table, which allows you time to explore the other exhibits!
3. As a spectator, you're able to get ideas to engage your students and may see something that you have "never thought of before".
In addition, your students (past and present) will love seeing you roaming the exhibits! As a spectator, consider bringing your own family with you!
4. First Sneak Peek- Jeremy Friedman and The Daily Ramble Crew
The team will be giving special tours of their new studio! See first hand how the Ramble students put together the daily show and special segments. Perhaps you will be featured on an upcoming episode! .
5. Second Sneak Peek- Ignite Talks- Brooke Burgy and the Humanities Team (Angeli, Brown, Flanagan, Russell)
Teachers and students will be showcasing students' individual research through Ignite Presentations. Brooke's 11th grade English classes prepared talks as n entry activity to their study of Anthem . Some of her students presented live and other used Screencastify to record their talks. Humanities students are preparing to share Ignite-style presentations of their DaVinci Day Projects.
*And if all that is not enough- teachers get Act 48 hours, as well as 4 hours of pay for signing up as a presenter! (More information in regards to these 2 items will come out in May after final teacher registrations are complete!)
If you are able to present, please fill in the form by May 1st.
