Keynote Kickoff Rocks!

Chris Lehmann, founding principal of the Science Leadership Academy, a progressive science and technology high school in Philadelphia, PA will be joining us as our keynote speaker and presenter. The Science Leadership Academy is a New Philadelphia high school started in 2006 and built on the notion that inquiry is the very first step in the process of learning.


Developed in partnership with The Franklin Institute and its commitment to inquiry-based science, the SLA provides a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum with a focus on science, technology, mathematics and entrepreneurship. Students learn in a project-based environment where the core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation and reflection are emphasized in all classes. And Chris cooks!

Chris was an honoree for the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development's 2009 Outstanding Young Educator Award. The National School Board Association in 2006 named Chris one of "20 to Watch" among American administrators. He has spoken at educational conferences all over the world, including the National Association of Secondary Schools Conference, the National Educational Computing Conference, The Yahoo Cybercitizen Conference, The Innovative Learning Conference, and The Council of Educational Facilities Planners Regional Conference. He has worked with many schools and districts in the U.S. and England as a consultant, writes for LeaderTalk, Grant Wiggins' Faculty Room and is the author of the education blog Practical Theory.

 

 

Building School 2.0: Creating the Schools We Need (Keynote)

What is School 2.0? What are the pedagogical ideas that form it? Examine ideas of constructivist pedagogy and the use of 21st Century tools to create schools that are engaging, caring, and relevant places of learning for everyone involved. The history of the formation of the Science Leadership Academy will form the backdrop for this conversation.
