If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that children engage more when they are interested and invested in what they are learning. In the “Keeping It Real” workshop, award-winning teacher and training consultant Rachel Kharfen will walk you through how to maximize engagement by connecting current issues and world events to MicroSociety and across the curriculum. Hopefully, we can help our kids—and ourselves—feel more involved and present in what is occurring around us.
