Welcome to Johnston County Public Schools IGNITE2018 Symposium! We are excited to embark on this journey with you. This year’s event is designed around 4 Quests. Our hope is that if you follow a Quest over the 2 days your understanding will be deepened and you will find more relevance to your practice. There are 3 kinds of sessions: Connect (Edcamp style sessions) Learn (content delivery sessions) Innovate (implementation planning sessions). Begin by selecting one of 4 Quest Options:
SBTL (Standards Based Teaching and Learning)
CORE (CORE Instruction)
Learner Agency
Learner Centered Practices
Here is a link to the Quest Cards that might be helpful in seeing the specific sessions by Quest.
To begin crafting your quest you will need to follow these steps.
Step 1: Select all your required sessions (filter by "All Quests" to see these options) - Opening, Lunch, Toolbox, Innovate and Closing Sessions
Step 2: Select your Learn sessions, please use the "filter by type" option on the right hand side to help you plan the remainder of your quest by topic.
IMPORTANT NOTE: some options are in multiple quests - they are denoted on the quest cards, but to see those in sched you will need to use the filter that says "Multiple Quests." Pick from those first, they will fill up fast.
Step 3: In order to earn the 1.5 Digital Learning Competencies, your schedule should include 1 Connect, 5 Learn Sessions and 1 Innovate session (Note: you must also submit an artifact of implementation and a brief reflection after the symposium)
Description: "Preventing Mistaken Identities: Fostering Social Comprehension in the Classroom" Students come to us from an incredibly wide variety of backgrounds, circumstances, and entry points. We as teachers hold ourselves to high standards of acceptance and inclusion, and we desire to do the same for our students. Increased social awareness can help all students when tackling relevant content and issues today, but it can be difficult to determine how to teach the skills that lead to this end. In this session, we will utilize the important lessons and strategies from Sara K. Ahmed's "Being the Change" to provide teachers with ways to foster the development of social comprehension skills that they can take directly into the classroom. Rationale:"Preventing Mistaken Identities: Fostering Social Comprehension in the Classroom" By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Articulate the importance of social awareness in the classroom for whole student education 2) Explain ways to incorporate student identity studies in the classroom to encourage social awareness 3) Provide the details of a planned activity to foster social awareness in a specific subject area
