On this full day of expeditionary professional learning, you will join members of the Mount Vernon team for deeper learning and connect with expert practitioners through two distinct learning experiences:
Each participant will travel with an MV expert on a learning walk, receive information and guidance about respective instructional strategies, and debrief with faculty members during lunch.
Topics will include Inquiry-based Learning; Learner Agency; Design Thinking; Maker and STEM learning; AI and Emerging Technology; Innovative and Flexible Spaces; Personalized and Differentiated Learning; Competency-based Assessment; Belonging, and more.
MVV Design Sprint – An experiential workshop that will focus on bringing joy back into the classroom.
