Looking for a way to increase student engagement in your classroom? Confused about the latest buzzwords like “student centered learning” and no time to write new lesson plans and assessments? Imagine your principal popping in unannounced for your observation to find a class actively engaged in the lesson while working with their peers. Come hear about Illinois Storylines from teachers who are using them daily to teach first year biology.

Veteran storyline teachers are encouraged to attend as well to network and share their experiences. Presentation: http://bit.ly/3y8Pz3M
