Connected Learning Summit 2019

The Chicago Learning Exchange has developed a Connected Learning Guide that translates that research into a one-stop reference for educators, mentors, and other youth-serving professionals. Connected learning is a model for youth engagement and includes a set of powerful design principles based on research into the kinds of experiences that sustain and deepen youth learning. Engagement matters because it is the key sign of a person’s own motivation to learn.

Attendees will use the Connected Learning Guide as a tool to reflect upon their own practice, to identify their strengths, and to gain some practical guidance in areas where they would like to build their knowledge and skills. In the spirit of connected learning, this workshop will help you learn from and contribute to the wisdom of your peers.

Registrants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the guide before the workshop. Find the latest version of the guide at https://chicagolx.org/resources/connected-learning-guide.
