Some teachers may incorporate maker learning into their classrooms for the first time; others may bring STEAM learning into their English language arts or social studies classrooms. Or maybe they’ll find thoughtful ways to innovate with tried-and-true teaching approaches. No matter what, we’re excited to see the innovative ways that Remake Learning Network members will create transformative learning experiences for their students in the year ahead.

Here are a few network members who shared how they’ll remake learning in the 2016-2017 school year.

“ASSET will improve student learning by empowering educators (P-12, in and out of school time) with advanced professional development and STEM materials. See our results at assetinc.org/our-results.”

Erin Cawley
Avonworth Elementary School, Avonworth School District
“I will continue to strive to ignite a passion for using technology to create in my students. This year I plan to do so with a number of exciting projects that have a goal of being more cross curricular as to bring their learning full circle. I’ve also worked hard to create a new environment in the computer lab where students will feel they are in a comfortable space of their own.”

Michele Crispell
Roche A Cri School, Adams-Friendship Area School District
“I will have an official Makerspace room for the first time as an extension of our library! We started last year by purchasing a few robots, coding sites and building materials and plan to really go full force this year. I am super excited!”

Alison Francis

“I plan to focus on meaningful family engagement and anywhere, anytime learning for families.”
