This session is designed for K-12 teachers to explore what it means to design learning experiences that invite, nurture and empower students to participate in real work that meets a real need for real people.  Workshop participants will interact with each other and K-12 stories that illustrate the design principles behind creating REAL learning experiences with your students.  The deep hope of this session is that you will be inspired to take your next steps in designing learning experiences that deeply engage and form your students.
