SCRUM IN EDU
Register NOW for this 2017 MACUL Conference Pre-Con Event
Students are not born knowing how to work together, and we rarely take the time to formally teach students the necessary skills. Creating a student-centered, collaborative learning environment revolves around effective teamwork. Teachers will use Scrum, a framework for scaffolding teamwork, to understand team design, planning, and project execution. Leave prepared to implement this framework immediately with measurable results.

INTRODUCING BEA LEIDERMAN
Bea Leiderman is an instructional technology coach with Goochland County Public Schools in Goochland, VA. For a decade, she has worked with middle and high school teachers and students across all disciplines to use digital tools and resources to create student-centered classroom environments. With her team, Bea helped design and implement a district-wide 1:1 iPad program focused on Deeper Learning through project-based activities, allowing students to follow their interests and develop personal talents. Bea’s latest work has focused on the use of the Scrum methodology to amplify student engagement and learning. Through use of a modified version of this software-development framework, Bea and her colleagues have developed activities and curricula that guide students through the process of team building, conflict resolution, time management, reflection, and self-evaluation in order to plan and execute learning projects. These efforts led to their work being featured in ISTE’s conference issue of Entersekt magazine. Bea and her colleagues have shared their methodology’s effect on classroom environments at the EdTechRVA conference, ISTE, the VMI Center for Ethics and Leadership STEM Conference, the Virginia School Boards Association Fall Conference, and VSTE. Bea is the author of six interactive educational books on entomology and macro photography available free on Apple’s iBooks Store. Bea is a Google Certified Teacher and an Apple Distinguished Educator.
