Students Encouraged to Give Input on School Redesign
Adults spend a lot of time talking about improving education. However, the students whose very future depends on the direction that America’s education system takes are often unaware and uninvolved in these conversations. So after attending an edcamp Iowa conference back in February, we decided to do something about it. We are planning a student education conference this fall called the Iowa Student Learning Institute (ISLI) with the theme “How should schools be redesigned for learning in the 21st century?”
ISLI will be held at Waukee High School on Saturday, October 5 from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (with registration opening at 8:00 a.m.). The day will consist of two basic parts. The morning will feature speakers including Dr. Scott McLeod, administrator at Prairie Lakes AEA, to set the tone of the day and spark transformative thinking. Then in the afternoon students will work with each other in student-led breakout sessions to build upon the ideas introduced in the morning and explore an answer to the day’s overarching question.
Our goal is to bring a diverse group of 200 students of all ages from across the state to ISLI. Registration for students and their adult chaperones is free and will open soon. We are compiling a contact list, so if you are interested in receiving more information and updates throughout the summer and fall, or if you have any questions or comments, please respond to Jack or Ian (see info below). You can also check out the details on the ISLI smore page.
Thanks so much for your interest in ISLI! Hope to see you there!
