STLinSTL 2023

It seems that teachers have to do it all - be content experts, brain-based instructional designers, deliverers of SEL & E&I practices, ed-teach whizzes, and globally-engaged leaders. While the need to be all these things may be real, actually achieving this seems downright impossible. But there is a way.

In this workshop, Kevin Costa will lead an active, collaborative session where attendees will take curriculum they already teach and design learning experiences that “light up” several competencies at once. Ideally, attendees should see that the many skills teachers are charged to deliver should not be separate practices from subject matter. Instead, designing for holistic competency education requires pedagogical methods that can deliver 21st-century skills and provide deep disciplinary learning.
