Student Centered Partnerships (schools & partners working to benefit students) Edit

Jan 24 7–8:30pm

Cherry Street Tavern 129 North 22nd Street, Philadelphia 19103

How can schools and teachers partner with outside organizations to create creditable, multidimensional, interest-driven, hands-on experiences for students?

How can strong partnerships create rich expanded learning opportunities that connect back to classroom experiences?

We've been supporting this work with 20 schools and 40 partners. We'd like to share our experiences/insights/suggestions, and to hear yours.

Session run by Rob DiRenzo & Brianna Lawrence of the NYC Digital Ready team —read more about our work at www.digitalready.net
