Through leading participants through a selection of the activities that have made The Workshop School so impactful, these student will facilitate a discussion on WHY these activities reflect the direction that schools should be heading, how these activities reflect the philosophies about education that students have embraced, and what it would look like for more schools to adopt similar activities.","Link":["http:\/\/www.workshopschool.org"],"Audience":["High School"],"Practice":"While the conversation will focus on some of the activities done at The Workshop School, the goal will be for the group to design some extension activities as well as adaptations that could be utilized at ALL schools regardless of demographics.
