When we choose to think differently, we will discover what works through appreciative inquiry about our skills, dream about what might be based on our goals, then design and deliver what will be through a project-based learning experience.
Participants will be given a real-world problem to solve and asked to develop a solution using a project-based learning format. Each participant will be given the opportunity to take the MindPrint Learning cognitive skills assessment, if they have not yet done so. During this experience we will use their results to co-develop a personalized learning plan.
