The Challenge Success 2024 Fall Conference at Stanford University

In times of generative AI, machine learning, and easy access to knowledge, how can students be in the driver’s seat of their learning experience? In our school, student-directed projects are at the core of our approach. Students are active explorers driven to answer an essential question they’ve created. As they design their learning experience, they become problem-solvers and critical thinkers, content experts, and collaborators. Hear about how our school’s journey to enact this change fundamentally shifted the perception of what school could be.

Student feedback and success are inextricably related. Growth, discovery, and motivation do not exist without feedback. While many of us understand the essential need for this honest exchange, the practice of giving and receiving feedback elicits sweaty palms and an elevated heart rate. This workshop sets the stage for an engaging partner activity that dissects the art of feedback into applicable and effective strategies. Join us for an interactive scenario that will transform the stress of feedback into a positive, eye-opening experience. Participants will gain communication strategies that deepen relational trust and increase the comfort of delivering and receiving feedback.
