Fall PD at MIT: Embed Maker Projects in Every Subject

[Diane Brancazio]

Bring all teachers and students into the makerspace to build, design, and express ideas!

 

The Master Making in the Classroom workshop series is back by popular demand! Educators will learn how to design and lead projects that draw students into regular academic curriculum This PD is geared towards educators who lead Maker initiatives (technology integration specialists, STEM coordinators, and makerspace leaders) and work with teachers in subjects such as ELA, Math, and Social Studies.

 

More than just a workshop series, this is a chance to transform your teaching. Our program gives you the tools and support to:

• Design meaningful projects that align directly with your curriculum goals.
• Empower students by stepping back from traditional instruction and becoming a facilitator of their learning.
• Collaborate with peers and receive one-on-one coaching from leaders at the MIT Edgerton Center.

 

We are now offering our workshop series in two formats: in-person at the MIT Edgerton Center or remote, so you can join from anywhere. The cost per person is $1150 for the series, which includes coaching in between sessions. We keep this cost as low as possible to make the PD accessible and to encourage educators to participate with a colleague.

 

Remote participants are expected to have at least 3 people from the district who can work together during the workshops and be in touch between sessions.

 

To ensure that all participants in the workshops are prepared to learn and share, we have an application process before registration. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
