FAQ
Here are some commonly asked questions about Deeper Learning Educator Camp.
Who is Educator Camp designed for?
DL Educator Camp is designed for K-12 educators who work at all levels of school systems who are interested in deeper learning, including classroom educators of all subjects and grade levels, principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, and district-level administrators.
What will I do and learn at Educator Camp?
During the application process, you will be asked to share your role and goals for implementing deeper learning practices. You will asked to select one of three “pods” to join based on your deeper learning journey: classroom practice, adult learning, or system-level change. The “pod” becomes your “home base” -- a place to reflect, push your thinking, test new ideas, and translate inspiration into action. Additionally, you will experience immersive workshops and sessions designed by experienced educators and our featured speakers that allow you to understand what deeper learning feels and looks like. Finally, Ed Campers will work with their peers and pod leaders to produce and share tangible deliverables that will guide their work for the new school year.
