Teachers Learn About Active Learning At BOCES Workshop

Educators from all over the Hudson Valley got a feel for how active learning should take place at the Lower Hudson Regional Information Center's Active Learning Center in Harrison on Aug. 22 and 23. The interactive seminar helped educators learn to teach in an active learning space and to prepare for their own transition to an educational setting that is intended to be more flexible, mobile and engaging than that of the traditional classroom. Teachers from the Byram Hills, Croton Harmon, Hastings, Ossining, Pelham, New Rochelle and Rye City school districts were the first to participate.
