From Classrooms To Makerspaces

The focus of student achievement has extended beyond reading and math scores.  As Common Core and STEM- and STEAM-based learning create a shift away from rote academics, more and more teachers are applying the “learning by doing” approach to instruction.  This resurgence in experiential learning has become known as themaker movement, and recent brain-based research supports this method of instruction as it aligns with the way the brain functions best. This session is designed for educators who are looking for pedagogically sound experiences to begin to transform their classrooms into maker spaces. Join us to explore cross-curricular learning experiences as well as how the VariQuest Visual and Kinesthetic Learning Tools make it easy for you to create your own.
