<p>What does the work of change actually look like in schools? What is your role in making that change happen?</p>
<p>Teachers can get to work by experimenting in their classrooms and these experiments directly affect the lives of students. Students can play a large role in both helping to influence experimentation and to provide feedback. Administrators, and at times community members, can get to work by facilitating teacher experimentation. We represent what that looks like with the inner and outer loops of the Cycle of Experiment and Experience. Justin will lead you through the cycle, and administrators, teachers and students will give their advice for getting started. </p>
<p>Dan Callahan, a founder of Edcamp, will talk about the importance of teachers learning from one another, and administrators formalizing that work, through professional development. Then we'll visit Sanborn Regional High School and hear about their experiences shifting to competency-based education.</p>
<h3>Key takeaways:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The role of teachers in the Cycle of Experiment and Experience is to experiment in the classroom, share their experiences with other teachers, and plan more experiments.</li>
<li>The role of administrators in the Cycle of Experiment and Experience is to provide the resources for teachers to learn from one another.</li>
<li>Even when you're still figuring things out, it's important to start experimenting!</li>
</ul>
