At Embark, we are creating a learning environment designed to reimagine what’s possible for adolescent education. This formal opportunity to visit Embark is intended to help you see and feel more fully how we approach learning; to show you the practices we have in place to create a learner-centered environment; and to support you in considering new possibilities for your community.
About Our Embedded Learning Experience
If you are an educator, administrator or school community member on a journey to envision how learning can be different for youth and are looking for an example or inspiration for what a learner centered environment looks like in practice, we invite you to join us for our Embedded Learning Experience at Embark. During these two days, you will:
Experience and develop radical trust, whose practices and mindsets can be brought back to your learning environments to continue building on your intentional momentum
Open up to new possibilities of learning for your students through authentic and purposeful routines, activities, and systematic processes
Build community with other participants, who are on a similar journey. Share your contexts and insights with each other to advance our collective work to change learning environments.
