Join Us in July in Cape Cod

From July 9-12, 2013, Learning ghj_amp the Brain will offer a Summer Institute in the heart of Cape Cod.

This institute will focus on new global concepts for education known as "21st Century Skills." The last major changes to curriculum took place in the late 1800's as a response to the sudden growth in societal and human capital needs. However, today's 21st century bears little resemblance to the 19th century so curricula needs to be deeply redesigned. You will learn what experts say about future needs and new ways to teach and develop strategies to promote the new 21st century requirements for Knowledge, Skills, Character and Metacognition. Through online research, group projects and neuroscience, you will re-examine STEM and Humanities/Arts, explore new educational technologies, and broaden your practice to include inquiry, debate, design, artistic expression and well-being. The Institute is designed to be an intense, hands-on workshop and therefore is limited to 35 participants.
