Well then this workshop is for you. Come join us and learn how to make public showcases of student work happen at your school.","Description":"At Attleboro High School we have started holding public showcases of student work in order to accomplish several goals:\r\n\r\n1. All too often the only people who see student work are the student and the teacher.  This helps change that dynamic by providing an authentic audience for student work by inviting the community to see what we've been up to.\r\n2. All too often the only things the community knows about its schools are what is in the newspaper.  Having public showcases helps to change the conversation around what is happening in school and provides a much richer picture of student achievement to the community.\r\n\r\nThis workshop will focus on getting participants to design public showcases of student work to be held at their schools.  The conversation will focus on three main areas:\r\n\r\n1. What is a public showcase of student work? \r\n2. Why publicly showcase student work?\r\n3. How do I organize a public showcase of student work?\r\n\r\nParticipants will then work to collaboratively conceive and design one to be held at their school this year.","Link":["http:\/\/ahsilt.weebly.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Participants will work in groups to conceive of and design a showcase to be held at their school.  Resources will be created and shared via Google tools for every step of the process that each person can then utilize.  The \"what? So what? Now what?\" protocol will be utilized to examine the issues surrounding student and community engagement and then to move to devising solutions to these problems through showcases.","Presenter":["Brian Hodges","Tobey Reed"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Attleboro High School"],"PresenterEmail":["bhodges@attleboroschools.com","treed@attleboroschools.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":94,"ScheduleLocationID":2,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":"You can find us on Twitter as well:\r\n\r\nBrian: @bhodge2727\r\nTobey: @reedahs","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":7}}
