On Thursday, April 19, 2018 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET, iNACOL will host a Teacher Talk Webinar to provide an overview of student exhibition nights, explore ways these exhibitions can promote student agency and success, and offer ways to get started.

Educators across the nation are co-creating with students authentic, real-world personalized learning opportunities to promote deeper learning and prepare all students for success. Some schools are implementing student exhibition nights as a means for students to showcase projects, celebrate learning, and engage in interactive learning opportunities with their families, community members, and special guests.

Join this webinar to hear teachers from Simpsonville Elementary School (KY) share their experiences with implementing student exhibition nights at their school. Teachers will share tips on making exhibition nights a success, examples of student projects, and ways to foster student agency, voice and choice in the learning process. Learn promising practices to bring student exhibition nights to your school or district.

iNACOL CEO Susan Patrick said, “Exhibition nights offer students the opportunity to drive their own learning experiences, while demonstrating mastery of learning targets to their peers, families and communities. Exhibitions are authentic, connected to a student’s interests and passions, and tied to their personalized learning goals.”

Interview – too much personal information

This is from one of your colleagues…if this pertains to you…please go back to your Interview post and take out or change names of individuals and schools etc.

Hey all,

I hope I don’t come across to nitpicky or “by the book” here! The consent form that we had our interviewees sign prior to our interviews stated “your name will not be identified… any text records will not identify your name or your work place (name of school, or other identifiers such as the name of the school district, address of organization, etc.)”

I feel like I know some of your interviewees quite intimately, now! Name, school, position, etc. TO me this is great because I love being able to dig deep into one’s experiences and see what I can learn, but it’s something I noticed and wanted to share since this form was signed off on. Might only take a quick edit to fix up!
