Authentic by Design: Crafting Meaning and Responsive Learning Opportunities

This keynote is designed to explore authentic learning dynamically, where real-world relevance meets classroom innovation. This talk will delve into the essentials of designing learning experiences that resonate with students and empower them to take ownership of their learning. Discover how to integrate interdisciplinary approaches and foster a classroom environment where inquiry and exploration are combined with the strategic use of technology. We'll look at practical examples and strategies to help you transform theoretical knowledge into engaging, real-world applications that empower educators and students.

New hires to Baldwin County Public Schools will meet with our Senior Staff, Curriculum & Instruction, and Human Resources Divisions to get the lay of the land, so to speak. After lunch, you will break out into either grade-level or content-specific small groups to hear more from your supervisors and coordinators.

NOTE: When you arrive, register at the kiosk, and then go to the New Hire table to get a paper copy of your schedule for the day.
