Linked Learning Convention 2016

Using case studies from our Design and Science High Schools, we will show how industry partners (like 72andSunny, Gensler, Boeing, etc.) have been instrumental in helping shape our programs and improve our practice. We will provide a template for other schools to engage their partners in similar ways, including staff visits and discussions about projects and learning objectives with professionals, as well as how partners have collaborated with teachers and students on projects at Da Vinci. We will also provide ideas for bringing more professionals to the campus through events like career days and mock interview sessions done by professionals with each of the students preparing for an internship.
