* WEA Individual Consultation Appointments: WEA will be hosting individual consultation appointments throughout the day. Please see the sign-up link within the first session, "WEA Member Benefits - Individual Consultation Sign-Up Links". If you sign up for an appointment, please do not select a break-out session during that time. Space is limited in all sessions so we need to be able to account for every seat.
* 5-10 Minute Chair Massages will be taking place from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm in Room 234 courtesy of Tina W. There is no sign-up, just walk-up appointments.
* Parking: There is limited street parking around Central High School. Shuttles will be available from the former K-Mart parking lot to Central.
* Lunch: There will not be lunch offered this year through WWEC. Please feel free to signup to attend the La Crosse Soup session from 11:20-12:50 in the New Commons. Attending this session has a suggested donation of $5. Like a La Crosse SOUP event, $5 will get you a soup lunch and a vote for your favorite pitch. Each middle school will be giving a pitch on a way to better their school or their community. All donations will directly help fund the winning pitch!
Some classrooms are still using outdated resources/textbooks that don't facilitate organic learning to complement students' interests, abilities, and cultures. Project-Based Learning methods are able to incorporate 21st Century skills and the Four C’s of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication, while allowing students to work in ways that fit their background, learning styles, and interests. This session will share how to create an environment of motivation and personal growth through PBLs.
Take Away: Attendees will leave with a start to finish the framework of Project-Based Learning, graphic organizers, techniques, free technologies, and rubrics to successfully implement PBLs.
