CL60: What’s Your Monster in the Cave?

There’s always something out there standing between what you might want for your students or for your own sanity as a teacher.

What tools and support do you already have at hand to take that on directly?

Season 8/Collab Lab 60

February’s Collab Lab focused on maintaining the energy and passion to sustain engagement of students in authentic work. This month we stare into the face of the monster in the cave — in other words, the thing that blocks us from offering all we might want for our students or what we need for ourselves.

What is your monster?

What do others see in you that would allow you to take it on?

As always, you’ll be joined by peers and collaborators from K-12 higher education, industry, and the nonprofit community. Additionally, if you work with or know of a student who would like to join the discussion, please extend the invitation

Twitter Chat: Collab Lab 34: Tapping industry expertise

Collab Lab 34 will run as a Twitter chat at #CollabLabChat

Schools want to connect their students to industry expertise.  Industry wants to develop and recruit talent.  What gets in the way of making these connections?  What needs to be in place to build effective partnerships?

Join us to connect with K-12 colleagues from across the area, as well as community partners from industry, higher ed, and non-profits to share ideas and explore possibilities where collaborative efforts could help move things along.

Agenda

7:00 pm – 8:00 pm Ask questions, share your ideas from the safety of your couch
