2012+Student+Summit

Students attend general sessions, smaller breakout sessions and learn and collaborate together for an entire day. The theme for the summit this year will be built around the novel, __Iqbal__. All student and teacher participants are encouraged to read the novel prior to attending the summit. Book: //Iqbal// Theme: //Global Citizenship// A of I: //Health and Social// Guiding Question: //How will the choices I make affect the world?//

The class content is very open-ended as long as it relates to the theme, A of I & GQ above. **There will be a stipend** for teachers who are willing to develop and teach a class. **Please share this information with your teachers ASAP and have them contact me if they are interested!**

From Jennifer Simms -- Heritage MS: I'd like to share what I've done with Iqbal as well. Using the Virtual Campus program, I've made a 5-week online course for students to complete. We meet weekly after school and students do their reading and response work at home. The website is [] and you should be able to view it as a guest. I don't know that I can share the entire class with another school, but you're certainly welcome to use any of the material I've posted on the site.
