Hosting a Flat Classroom Conference or Workshop
Flat Classroom Conference and Live Events Inc. is a non-profit US-based 501(3)(c) organization that has been formed to be the umbrella group for Flat Classroom conferences and workshops (mini-conferences).
Our aim is to run a global conference every 2 years.
We are looking for progressive schools that are serious about challenge-based pedagogy, global issues, global collaboration and essential pedagogical strategies to support global project design, as well as support global competency and international mindedness objectives.
We are looking for schools that have the facility to host up to 250 participants (a mixture of students and educators), with a venue large enough to hold everyone for plenary sessions, as well as adequate breakout rooms.
We are looking for schools that have the IT infrastructure to support wireless connectivity and reliable Internet access for all participants. This event includes a large virtual component and must be connected to the world at all times.
We are looking for schools that want to invest in professional development for a significant number of their teachers and understand the cost-effective benefits of bringing this live event into the community.
We are looking for schools that support student-based action projects (e.g. GIN) and want to provide another opportunity for their school and region.
Most importantly we are looking for schools that understand the importance and impact of combining students and educators, in fact ALL learners in a stranded, but interactive conference format where multi-modal learning opportunities are possible and actions are supported.
Does that sound like your school?? Then we would love to talk further!
