21CLExpo

21st Century Learning Expo (21CLExpo)
Each year at the Motivation and Engagement conference for Eagle County Schools, we include a showcase of our own teachers who lead their colleagues through discovery sessions of new tools and ideas for the classroom. This set of sessions are aligned with the district 21st Century Skill Standards of Critical Thinking & Reasoning, Collaboration, Invention, Self-Direction, Information Literacy, and Globalness. In 2009, we held the first of what will hopefully be a long tradition for Eagle County Schools and the overwhelming response by teachers was, "We want more!".
