This Leadership Workshop for Fall 2022 will introduce students to themselves as learners. Instead of looking at learning as a “passive” activity, we will be investigating and testing active and engaged learning processes such as “scaffolded learning,” the “Socratic method” and “cognitive development.” Drawing from modern psychological learning theories such as constructivism, humanism and others, as well as some ancient approaches that deserve revisiting, we will explore what it means to “learn” as opposed to just “remembering.”
The virtual workshop is at 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 12. Please click here to register.
Once you register, you will be sent the information to join the workshop.
Students will take away new techniques to use in the classroom and their daily lives. They should come prepared to participate and ask questions. Student engagement is essential in the efficacy of this session.
Students who register and attend this leadership workshop will get a $10 e-gift card.
How does our society progress? Innovation, invention, and reinvention turn old ideas into new
concepts. Calling on Darwinian theories of evolution, Elon Musk’s unique brand of technological
determinism, Roger’s Innovation Diffusion Theory and others, we will examine the engine and
impetus of innovation in modern culture.
Here, the students are invited to look at innovation not as a moment of genius, but as a mind set
that evaluates the processes through which knowledge and inspiration leads to shared innovation.
Also, the conditions that make innovation possible are examined through the modern reality of
daily experience. We innovate all of the time on a personal level. In this session we will look at
some ways our daily habits transform into innovative potential.
