How often do you have an opportunity to connect with colleagues in other districts to share innovative practices in education?
Learn Deep brings educators from across Milwaukee together to share what we’re working on to benefit our students. Each gathering includes individuals from organizations in the greater Milwaukee community who have looked at parallel innovation practices from another perspective. Together, we explore the goals educators hope to reach, hurdles which stand in the way, and opportunities to move forward, however small at first.
Collab Labs are a chance to learn what strategies others have used to succeed, and to solicit help and feedback from others who have worked towards similar goals.
Each Collab Lab is focused on a specific topic. Past topics included ‘Maker Spaces‘, ‘Finding Room to Innovate‘ and ‘Engaging Community Partners‘. At each session we bring in featured participants from schools and the broader community who have significant and often unique experience in the subject at hand. Across all of our attendees, you’ll find folks who are willing and open to share what they know to help others in the room, whether that’s an approach to a problem, a strategy to get buy-in, or connections to others that can help.
Participation in our Collab Labs is always free, but space is limited. Our dates and topic focus can be found in the listing to the right on this page.
We’re happy to return to the WE Energies STEM Center at MSOE for our 7th season of Collab Labs
