Local School Needs the Community's Help to Present at SXSWedu 2016

Chestnut Hill’s Beaver Country Day School has presented at SXSWedu for the past two years, showcasing their ground-breaking initiative, the “Coded Curriculum.” This year, administrators hope to return to the conference to share information on another innovative area of the school: its design.

Beaver’s proposed panel will explore successful ways to create an educational environment that fosters learning across every situation, subject and grade. It will encourage teachers and educators to leverage school and classroom design to positively impact students’ learning.

Beaver is eager to return to SXSWedu this year, but needs the community’s help to do so. Votes from the public count for 30% of programming selection and are open through September 4 on the SXSW PanelPicker. To vote for Beaver, simply log in or create a free account and give Beaver’s proposal a thumbs up.
