Langley School District I.D.E.A. Summit

Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship and Altruism
Our second annual Summit celebrating entrepreneurship and design thinking

Date: Wednesday, May 8, 2019
​Location: Langley Events Centre Field House (7888 200 Street, Langley)

As a District we have taken great strides with the redesigned curriculum.  The redesigned curriculum is student-centered, flexible and it encourages deeper learning.  The future job market is impossible to predict however, with this curriculum, students have the opportunity to explore their passions and interests through the application of their knowledge.  The Entrepreneurship Strand within the Applied Design Skills and Technology curriculum reinforces this methodology.  It harnesses the power of learning by “doing” and provides opportunities for our students to be challenged and inspired as they search for creative solutions to authentic real-world problems.  In addition, Entrepreneurship supports the valuable 21st Century skills within the Core Competencies, a very important component of the curriculum redesign.  Having our students engaged in these learning experiences provides them with opportunities to hone their communication and collaboration skills through reflective and creative problem-solving.  As the students journey through this active process, they learn more about themselves and their roles in this rapidly changing world

​The District is very excited about this day where Langley students will have an opportunity to share their learning and highlight their achievements. A day where students, staff and community can view, learn, participate and be inspired from the work of others! Truly a day of celebration for education in Langley. All staff and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend any or all of the day; we look forward to seeing you on May 8th.
