Mark Twain once said: “A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.” In this session, participants will explore K-12 learning stories in which students were empowered to participate in ‘real work that meets a real need for real people.’ By engaging God’s world, these students ‘grabbed a cat by the tail’ and their learning experiences both formed them and shaped the world in a Kingdom of God way of being.
