This goal is more readily attained with connections within and throughout disciplines of study.  In an attempt to 'un-silo' the content and concepts, we will discuss practical examples of interdisciplinarity and suggestions for growing such connective cognitive tissue in your own learning environments.","Description":"We will walk through several examples of working cross-disciplinarily to make learning real for their students. Conversation participants will be asked to brainstorm implications for their own learning environments as they consider the exhibited best practices.\r\n\r\nSpecifically, participants will be able and energized to take any of the above components and begin examining them more closely for incorporation in their own professional practice. These will be appropriate for those immersed in a project-based environment as well as those interested in leveraging an inquiry model in the classroom.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Conversation participants will be engaged in a number of reflective and sharing activities throughout the conversation.","Presenter":["Zac Chase","Rosalind Echols and Diana Laufenberg"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["dlaufenberg@scienceleadership.org"],"ScheduleSlot":"Session Two","Room":"311","SubmitterID":"149","AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":"educon13","Hashtag":null}],"conditions":{"Status":"Accepted","ScheduleSlot":"Session Two","0":"MATCH (Title,Description,Presenter) AGAINST (\"Zac Chase, Rosalind Echols and Diana Laufenberg\")"}}
