Media Specialist Dottie Smay and Director of Education Technology and Innovation Nicole St. Armand will be guest speakers. They will lead a discussion of how Shorecrest Lower School teachers use brain-based teaching strategies as well as cutting edge educational research to develop lessons and projects that enhance retention and understanding of key curriculum concepts. They will share class and student examples of how project-based learning with the integration of art and technology and our Makerspace are all a “Hands On-Minds On” approach to learning. A make-to-learn approach promotes critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication, which are key 21st century skills!
Attendees will also tour the Makerspace and try their hand at making!
