What: A two-day workshop at Nomad Middle School where long-time educators Christie Seyfert and Lisa Bishop will lead you through a wide variety of learning experiences to offer inspiration.

You will experience:

• Hands-on activities designed to be accessible across grade levels, tied to academic outcomes
• Excursions centered around learning out in the world and amidst local community members
• Activities centered around creativity and making that serve as launching points for deep academic and community engagement

Using these experiences we will facilitate independent and small group time to workshop how participants can adapt and bring these ideas to life in their own educational settings.

Where: Nomad Middle School (2592 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA 94110)

When: Friday, August 16th and Saturday, August 17th from 9:00am–4:30pm.

What’s included: We’ll provide breakfast, coffee, tea and snacks each day (lunch is not included). We’ll provide all materials needed for all the experiences.

We’re offering this workshop on a sliding scale to allow this workshop to be accessible to more educators, especially those who may not have access to organizational financial support. If you do have access to organizational support we ask that you pay the full cost of the workshop. We are committed to offering our workshops at accessible price points, while also valuing our time and expertise. We encourage you to assess where you fall on the financial scale today and we offer the Green Bottle Sliding Scale and writings from Embracing Equity as resources. We also have limited scholarships available, don’t hesitate to contact Lisa ([email protected]) to explore options.
