Out At School 24

Join us!

Join Connected Learning, in partnership with KKA Consulting and Jess Jones Education & Consulting, in envisioning school environments that are welcoming of all genders and orientations.

Event Description

Our school communities are home to many staff, students, and families who identify under the LGBTQ+ umbrella (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and more). Too often, however, LGBTQ+ individuals face barriers in the educational setting that prevent them from comfortably being themselves. Join Connected Learning and other regional organizations in envisioning school environments that are welcoming of all genders and orientations. During event sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in open conversations necessary for learning and growth. Whether you are a new or experienced ally, you are certain to leave with increased knowledge, skills, and resources for supporting the LGBTQ+ staff, students, and families in your own school community.

The Mission of the Event

Out at School’s mission is to work toward eliminating the social, emotional, and mental health inequities of LGBTQ+ individuals in schools. Through our collaborative efforts and skill-sharing, we can create schools that are safe, supportive learning environments for all. Our vision is for LGBTQ+ youth and adults to have the conditions to not just survive, but also to thrive on school campuses across our region.

The Missouri Learning Standards for Secondary Science represent the largest conceptual shift in teaching science in decades. The addition of engineering design and an increased emphasis on the practices and crosscutting concepts can revolutionize secondary science classrooms. However this revolution will only occur if science teachers fully understand the standards and make pedagogical changes in their classrooms. In this workshop, Paul Andersen will model 3-dimensional instruction while giving you concrete examples that can change science classrooms immediately. Teachers will screen exemplary performance assessments and backward design storylines they can use in their classes throughout the year.

Achieve, Behave, Belong - 5 Professional Learning Sessions

A School-wide Approach to Fostering All Students’ Academic, Behavioral & Social-Emotional Development

Overview (1).jpg

Summary of Training: 

Creating an environment in which all students achieve academic success, meet behavioral expectations, and feel a sense of belonging is a matter of providing integrated and responsive instruction. By integrating the teaching of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills within all aspects of the educational program and remaining responsive to the varied needs of the entire student population, schools create learning environments in which all students achieve, behave, and belong. Whether you are new to RtI/MTSS or an experienced practitioner, the insights and resources offered will provide the guidance needed to increase the effectiveness of your processes and practices.


Learning Objectives and Action Plan for Delivery:

This training is divided into five sessions and designed to guide educators in developing and implementing a systematic, multi-tiered intervention process to address students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs in a targeted, timely, and directive manner. Pursuant to this end, participants will learn to:

  1. Identify essential academic standards, behavioral expectations, and social-emotional competencies to be universally taught to all students.

  2. Use a Problem Solving Process to identify and respond to students’ lagging academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills.

  3. Establish processes and practices for developing and implementing intervention plans to target students’ lagging skills.

  4. Collect and evaluate data in order to provide intensive support for students who demonstrate significant or chronic lagging skills.

To achieve these learning objectives, participants will be expected to reflect on their current RtI/MTSS processes and practices with the intent of identifying both strengths and limitations of their current systems. After learning about an integrated and responsive approach to teaching academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills, participants will be expected to consider the systematic and cultural shifts necessary to create a learning environment in which all students achieve, behave, and feel a sense of belonging at school. Resources to support the learning objectives and facilitate the training activities will be provided to all participants.


Session Dates and Times:

Session 1: Introduction to Integrated and Responsive Instruction

Wednesday, May 19, 2021 from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.

Session 2: Universal Supports for Academic Development

Disruptive Innovation in Education

5:00 PM17:00

Disruptive Innovation in Education

Education in its current form hasn't changed since its standardization in 1892. If you're anything like me, you'd like to shake some of that up a little bit. We've got to do something better/different/unique/special/well....innovative.

Coined by Clayton M. Christensen of Harvard University. Disruptive innovation in education is:

  1. the catalyst for bringing about more equitable access to high-quality education.

  2. is the mechanism for bringing about a personalized education system

  3. a process to circumvent the political battles that have historically been at the center stage of education reform.

Come ready to learn, connect and disrupt while we study together, connect with experts and create a little disruption of our own.

Cohort Overview

September 5:30pm- How disruption is done in other sectors (Business, Healthcare, etc.) and what education can learn from them.
October - Disrupting Class - Key takeaways, disruptive roundtable
December - Activists and Activism - How productive disruption leads to change, Now what?, introduce a disruption project, Introduce the Mastermind Process, Create Momentum.

*Specific Dates to be determined as speakers/venues are finalized.


Benefits of Joining the cohort

  • Meet other Disruptors in our region

  • Learn about Disruptive Innovation in Education

  • Have an online community to share resources, ideas, and connections

  • Receive a copy of the book "Disrupting Class"

Student Voice in Education
Dec

4:00 PM16:00

Student Voice in Education

Many educators in the St. Louis area are working towards building a more student-driven learning space to learn. “Personalized Learning,” “Democratic Learning,” or “Innovation,” might be some of the ways you label what it is you are attempting to do. For many of us, this also means we can feel “alone” in this work. It’s time to flip the script and come together to support this work we are doing in our own school districts, buildings, and classrooms.

This evening will be about connecting with local educators who are working to disrupt the current educational landscape for the good of our learners. Our hope is together we can create a new understanding of what education could be using student choice and voice to drive our curriculum, incorporate standards, and improve teaching practices.

We will share struggles, problem-solve, and share what’s working!

The Black Yoga Teachers Alliance invites you to join us and the St. Louis community for an experience of Yoga as a Peace Practice to restore individuals who are impacted by trauma from violence and the dysfunction and chaos left in its aftermath.

August 9, 2019 will mark five years since the death of Michael Brown, a wound that prompted national protest, a wound that uncovered the ugly legacy of racial injustice and inequities, a wound that divided a city and finally a wound that infected its people with fear, anxiety and trauma. We return back to those wounds to begin to heal.

“Healing begins where the wound was made.”

— Alice Walker

Amir-Azulay-1.jpg

Amir Azulay - Certified ATB Trainer
Amir was born in Israel in 1969. He left Israel in 2000 with his wife, Tamar, on a journey to India, leaving behind a well-established business of 7 years. After three years of study and exposure to diverse disciplines aimed at expanding consciousness, they joined the International township of Auroville in South India, where the years of research into a deeper, more integral approach to education had given birth to the Awareness Through the Body (ATB) Program in Auroville schools.

During the​ following​ years, Amir was trained as an ATB facilitator under the guidance of the founders of this approach, Aloka Marti and Joan Sala. Since then he has focused on the ATB practice and teaching ATB to children in the Auroville schools, as well as offering workshops to adults.

Today, Amir is focused on reaching out with this discipline into wider India, United States, Israel and South Africa. He says, “ATB as a tool that aspires to facilitate a process of inner growth, to allow a chain of changes to unfold and manifest for a better life, and a better planet.

Edcamp Leadership - Missouri

Event Canceled

Thank you for registering for checking out the EdCamp Leadership event hosted by Connected Learning at North Kirkwood Middle School. We are so happy that during your summer break you are excited about meeting up with other administrators and leaders just like yourself! 

You Are Coming, Who Else Should Come?

Think of this as a team event.  A team event where a central office staff, school board, administrative team, and/or district leadership team all attends, learns, shares and collaborates on a vision for the future of their school or district.  EdcampSTL supports teacher learning, the Edcamp Leadership is an event focused on educational leadership.

“Feel” of the day

Most sessions are unknown to us right now.  The majority of sessions will be made up on the spot and done in an “unconference” style.  Have expertise to share?  Share it.  The sessions will be discussion driven and conversation focused so no powerpoint/keynote slides necessary.  As with all Connected Learning events, we will encourage the “rule of two feet.”

I’m new here...Please help me!

For many of you, this is your first edcamp experience. We are excited to have you attending, and we believe that it will transform your professional learning forever. Below are some great videos that will give you an insight to how this day of learning happens.

Book Release Event Learning Focused Environments: Volume 3

A small group of passionate educators gathered in August to begin a journey.  Each telling their story of innovation, creativity, change and personal growth.  These stories, with the help of Dr. Robert Dillon, have come together to truly highlight the amazing stories of our region.  Without a publishing company, without massive pre-sales, without support from many foundations we sought for financial support, we persisted.  Our region's educators deserve to be heard, come celebrate their success!

Join us for our final of three book release parties.

Preorder

Order your copy of the series here or preorder volume 3.

All copies of all books will be on sale at the event.

Outline of the event:

5:30 - 6:00 Welcome and networking
6:00 - 7:00 9, 5-minute presentations with a short break in between, TED-style delivered by the authors of Volume 3.
7:00 - 7:15 Through-line of the stories
7:15 - 7:45 Book signing by authors/educators.

What is Stories of Change?

Stories of Change is a three part series designed to share the hard work and dedication of teachers in classrooms, schools dedicated to modern learning, and school districts striving for a greater definition of success. Connected Learning has found that sharing stories of success is one of best ways to spread great ideas, build positive momentum for innovation, and push back against the often misguided narrative that somehow schools throughout the area are failing communities and families. We continue to be encouraged by the impact of the hard work and dedication of educators throughout our region, and we hope that our Stories of Change series elevates a few of these narratives. We know that there are many more successes just like these sitting below the surface, and we encourage our allies in education to share, celebrate, and showcase these stories of change, so that all of us can continue to make sure that all students have incredible learning experiences each day in every classroom.
