11th Annual 21st Century Learning Conference

Meeting for current PubPDasia members and for those who wanna join us in hosting one! Come on by for an informal chat and catching up!

In the interactive workshop, Kyle Giesbrecht will cover how he has developed a cutting edge culinary arts program that breaks down the traditional “silo classroom structure” by marrying multiple disciplines in one class. He will share his philosophy and the curriculum he has developed to awaken students inner confidence as they discover nothing is impossible. Come learn how to create an environment that builds upon prior knowledge to foster student creativity as they apply and personalizing their learning.

In addition to teaching 8th grade at Western Academy of Beijing and serving as the Middle School Service Learning Coordinator, Adam Carter is the Founder and Director of the Cause & Affect Foundation, which delivers direct assistance to people, families and well-run Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) around the world. In this Snapshot presentation, he will provide a concrete step-by-step model teachers can follow in order to launch a successful charity project, including how to fund raise, determine the most effective way of helping, documenting success and spreading word to supporters and donors. Participants  will walk away with the knowledge (and a “how-to” guide) that will prepare them to become effective humanitarians. This model can also be shared with students.
