Our keynote speaker, Claire Finders (COO of Nexplore) will be focusing on the “Art of Play” – Learn to teach students how to think, rather than what to think! This hands-on workshop explores the importance and application of game play as a powerful learning tool. The Nexplore Games’ methodology and thinking games provide practical strategies and activities to facilitate academic and SEL growth. During the workshop, the Nexplore Games Method will be applied to real life situations, allowing transference from learning activities to real life and vice versa.
