Educators from Around the Bay (& the World) Visit Campus
The Makery team hosted a meetup of the Bay Area Maker Educators on Thursday, February 12, bringing teachers from around the region into the Burke's Makery to tinker and experiment with a variety of materials just like students do.
It was just one of several recent occasions where educators traveled to Burke's to check out what's happening in our classrooms. Others included:
- A team of 10 from Four Seasons Art Education in Taipei, Taiwan;
- Five from 'Iolani School in Hawaii;
- Four from the Physical Education and Sports Teacher Academy in Singapore.
The guests all toured classrooms and learned more about a Burke's education. (Thanks to Mike Matthews for the photo!)
Burke's mission is to educate, encourage and empower girls. Our school combines academic excellence with an appreciation for childhood so that students thrive as learners, develop a strong sense of self, contribute to community, and fulfill their potential, now and throughout life.
Burke's admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
