EduCon 2025What if Senior Year Didn't Suck?
Senior year of high school is a time of anxiety and excitement, of dread and possibility. What if, instead, it was launchpad—an experience that gave you the skills, mindset, and confidence to feel ready for whatever is next? In this session, we will discuss big ideas like “What is the purpose of school?” and “How does school prepare you for life after graduation?” We will learn about Walkabout-an experiential learning model that re-imagines Senior year as a launchpad into life, creating a guided experience to help young people build confidence, self-efficacy, and discover their purpose. Participants will be given an opportunity to hear from current Seniors at SLA Beeber about what they want out of Senior year to help inform ways they can augment, tweak or reimagine how their young people experience Senior year to create that launchpad into life. They will then have an opportunity to record that vision to take with them as well as share it with each other.
Conversational Practice
This session will include large group and small group discussions as well as time to collaborate on their vision and share it with others to receive feedback both from other participants and from the students.
