Consortium for Student Empowerment through Innovation (CSETI) (by Invitation Only)

The Consortium for Student Empowerment Through Innovation's mission is to build a community of educational professionals working together to collaborate on ideas, problem-solve, share resources, and support each other to expand the student empowerment movement. Project/problem-based learning throughout the first half of the school year builds students' understanding and skills to then conduct their own investigation that ultimately results in a publicly shared impact project for an authentic audience. The Cardboard Arcade Challenge and the IMPACT Expo are opportunities for students to demonstrate their skills and share their learning with others. Both of these student-centered events are included with consortium membership. Additionally, consortium members receive onboarding support, coaching, and a device lending service through CSLO.

NOVEMBER

Secondary ELA Curriculum Development (PBL)

In this collaborative workshop, grades 6-8 ELA teachers will explore upcoming instructional units through the lens of authentic, engaging learning experiences. Participants will examine where project-based learning (PBL) can naturally enhance existing curriculum, identify opportunities for meaningful student inquiry and choice, and consider how novels can be used in innovative ways beyond traditional whole-class instruction. Together, teachers will share ideas, adapt units for their unique contexts, and leave with practical strategies for creating learning experiences that deepen literacy, increase engagement, and connect classroom learning to real-world applications.
