Create & Recreate: Making the Possible Practical


Welcome

St. Louis Skyline
St. Louis Skyline

Join us in St. Louis, "Gateway To the West", for what promises to be an exciting conference where we will explore how the physical environment supports the educational delivery system. We will explore a variety of educational processes, understand possible solutions to current educational issues and reforms, and investigate physical impacts on those learning environments.

The conference will be kicked off by Chris Lehman, founder and principal of the Science Learning Academy (SLA) in Philadelphia, PA. The SLA is a school where students learn in a project-based environment where the core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection are emphasized in all classes.

The conference will be organized around three themes, each with their supporting threads, all of which will be brought together in the final session.

Come see the redevelopment that has occurred in this historic city, attend interesting seminars and work sessions, and enjoy school tours or a great round of golf. So I encourage all of you to "Meet Me In St. Louis"!

President, Midwest/Great Lakes Region
