Session description
Middle and high school students are often disengaged and chronic absenteeism remains higher than pre-pandemic levels. Students think school is disconnected from the "real world" and many assignments seem irrelevant in a time of fasting-moving AI. So how do you get them back? Give them voice and choice to learn something related to their interests and share their learning with authentic audiences. Personal Interest Projects are exactly the type of experiences students need and want now. Learn how to break down the PIP process, connect it to the skills that graduates need to be successful, and re-engage students in school!
