Webinar Series for School Leaders: The Quest to Transform High School
About this Event:
Empower Students to Drive Learning
Transform One-Size-Fits-All Lesson Plans into Individualized Learning Goals
Wednesday, May 26, 2021
2:00 β 3:00 pm EST | Zoom
Asking high school students to set their own goals is a challenge (to put it lightly). But when itβs done successfully, students become more independent, ambitious, and better able to self-manage β helping them for the rest of their lives.
In this webinar, we will demo strategies that can empower students to manage their own academic, socio-emotional, and career-focused goals. You will meet educators who are currently using these strategies, and hear them discuss how they can changed the dynamic of learning. You will take with you a toolkit of strategies you can implement in your high school.
