Partner for Science Learning Design Institute

March 15–18, 2017

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Partner for Science Learning is an institute funded by the National Science Foundation  and offered to the network through a collaboration of the National Writing Project and the Association of Science-Technology Centers . This institute is designed to support educators thinking about how they might work together at the intersections of science and literacy and formal and informal education.

A local Writing Project site and science museum support a four-educator team to attend the design institute, March 15-18, 2017, in Philadelphia, PA. The team registers and pays the $800/team registration fee (returned upon completion of the institute and follow-up interview with Inverness Research), unlocking an invitation which pays airfare, lodging, and most meals. Teams spend three days learning together about Connected Learning , and several model projects funded by the Intersections Initiative, while also spending time together in directed design thinking to imagine a similar Intersections project in their local contexts.

You will:

• Learn about pilot projects that might serve as models for work at your own Writing Project site
• Get to know your partner organization, their mission and goals
• Explore intersections of shared interest
• Create a draft design of a possible Intersections project
• Brainstorm possible local funding sources
