Humanizing Education
What does that mean???
Folks attending an institute in El Cerrito will soon find out.
August 4-6 at Prospect Sierra School in El Cerrito is a training called 100% Engagement: Humanizing the Educational Process (with an optional advanced training August 1-3 held at the Buck Institute of Education)
According to the flier:
Engaging 100% of learners is possible; it's time to initiate a new framework for education by creating equitable and engaging classrooms that draw upon lived experiences and the skills required to achieve academically. This is the essence of what you will learn and experience at our institute.
For more information and application packet contact Juliet Schiller of Teacher Training and Program Development admin@e3ed.org or 415-578-2154.
