Adult Learning
Catalyst Innovation Institute is dedicated to creating opportunities for all stakeholders committed to reimagining schools to engage in dialog while sharing and critiquing each other's work. Gone are the days of teachers working in silos. Creating cultures of learning where adults experience the play and the wonder that they ask of their young people, is one of our core values. We believe that parents and other adults in the community are also educators and are integral to the success of each and every child.
These are just some examples of possible upcoming events.

Integrating Making into Content
