PDE’s SAS Institute, Innovative Students…Innovative Educators, is scheduled for December 3 – 6, 2017.  This year’s Institute will feature George Couros, author of “The Innovator’s Mindset: Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity.” With the overarching theme of innovation, sessions on December 4 and 5 will focus on the following:

– Classroom Innovation – giving students a voice, choice and autonomy; where the teacher becomes a leader and facilitator (versus boss of the classroom and feeder of content).

– Leadership Innovation – leadership that influences others to move towards positive results.

– Technology Innovation – “…learning the technology is not the innovation; it is what you do with it that becomes “new and better” which embodies the innovation we seek.”

December 6, 2017
