Description

The CAIS Learning Community Series is a chance to ride the momentum of change and focus on student connection and learning. The goal of the community series is to form trusted relationships outside of your school in twice per month meetings. During each session we will host short presentations introducing new models in education followed by time to discuss and collaborate with peers. In-person events will give the group a chance to further their connection twice this year.

WHAT is the Learning Community Series?:  A learning community of peer educators interested in discussing current learning models, keeping students at the center, and collaborating on the future of education as we collectively progress to normal. Sessions include:

  • Conversations with students (dress code)
  • Let’s Start Here: Conversations About Grading
  • UN Global Sustainability Goals
  • Low Lift Tech Moves for Luddites in the Humanities
  • Searching For Color: The Witness Stones Project
  • Finders Keepers: What We Will Keep From What We Learned During the Pandemic
  • Authentic Learning
  • Teaching Leadership During a Pandemic
  • How Are We Feeling? Student Touch-points
  • Podcasting: Easy as 1, 2, 3!

WHEN are the sessions?: Sessions are online on Tuesdays from 7-8 PM twice-a-month throughout the school year on the following dates:

  • September  14, 28
  • October 12, 26
  • November 9

COST: $75 individual all-access pass  ||  $400 all-school, all-access pass ||  $25 per-session

HOW TO JOIN: Registration for the LCS ensures that you have access to as many or as few of the sessions of interest to you. There is no obligation to attend all the sessions. *If you are interested in joining the LCS, we encourage you to share your interest with your supervisor (department chair, grade level leader, division head, PD coordinator, Dean of Faculty, etc.) as there is a group discount pass.

Notes for the all-school pass:

  • Schools that choose the all-school, all-access pass should designate one faculty member or administrator to serve as the contact point at the school who will receive and disseminate all registration and connection information to your school community for each session.
  • Prior to each session, the contact person will be sent a reminder which will include a link for people to register and receive Zoom connection information for that particular session. This will ensure that CAIS has adequate Zoom access for everyone who wishes to attend and will enable schools to track how many and which employees are attending each session.
