E1: Social Justice Education in 3D: Activities for dialogue, discussion & discovery
Tara Flippo | Saturday 1:30pm-4:30pm | The Manor
This workshop uses activities to address social justice education and promote the 3 Ds: dialogue, discussion, and discovery. Participants will experience an interactive activitybased approach to develop self awareness and agency. Focusing on methods, terminology and activities, participants will have the opportunity to increase their “toolbox” for diversity and/or social justice related content (anti-bias, inequity, discrimination, prejudice, and oppression).
S3: Have you ever…been bullied? Intentional anti-bullying activities to increase advocacy, empathy & action
Jeff Frigon | Saturday 1:30pm-4:30pm | Barn
Bullying has evolved from dodge ball to Facebook and from the “playground at 3:00” to 24/7 ostricization and humiliation via social media. This workshop will actively engage participants in an intentional sequence of activities designed to address some of the social emotional issues behind bullying. Participant should come ready to be active and prepared for engaging discussions!
T1: Teaching to Multiple Learning Styles Experientially: Exploring Creativity in Lesson Planning
Jack Hilbrich & Jeff Frigon | Sunday 8:45am-10:15am | Art Building Upstairs
The beauty of experiential education is that it easily addresses a variety of learning styles. Even so, we may find ourselves relying on or assuming that just because something is experiential, that it addresses all our students’ needs. Participants will explore the three basic learning styles and develop a greater awareness of how to meet the needs of students with a fresh perspective on creativity and how to incorporate it into lesson development and delivery.
