Building Innovators Through Choice-Based Enrichment
Thursday June 18, 2026 11:00am - 11:50am CDT
Room 403
The key to building tomorrow’s innovators might not be more structure, but more choice! This session will explore how giving students the freedom to pursue their interests can ignite creativity, deepen engagement, and foster real-world problem-solving skills. When learners have voice and choice, they don’t just participate; they take ownership, experiment, and innovate. Join this session to hear about how a new enrichment opportunity was developed and implemented at McHenry Middle School. We will share practical strategies for designing meaningful, flexible enrichment opportunities that empower students to think critically and create boldly.

I nerd out about dual language teaching, librarianship, and relationship-building. Besides "teacher things," I love cross stitching snarky things, color guard and marching band, and music (singing, playing, listening, etc).
