	Participate in the Design Conference for...
	St. Lawrence University Credit       EDUC 566 Special Topic: Constructivist Design

 

GET COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE YOU REFORM YOUR SCHOOL

Three hours of St. Lawrence University credit are available to conference participants, facilitators, and resoure people who are actively engaged in the Design Conference throughout the week. If you choose to participate in the Design Conference for St. Lawrence University credit, you will be able to work with your team and/or fulfill your other conference obligations. The course work will not take you away from what you came to do, but it will enhance and build upon your work. You may have assigned readings, meeting time during the conference (but not in conflict with conference work), and there will be a reflective paper due in the late Fall. The purpose of the paper will be to integrate your articulation of what you planned at the summer conference and how it played out in the "real world" during your implementation.
