Description
Teaching is, in many ways, the art of shaping meaning. This course offers a playful and thought-provoking exploration of semiotics: the study of how humans create the signs that give form to thought and culture. Through discussion, walks, and hands-on design, we’ll learn to see how meaning is made and how we can intentionally use it to shape understanding in the classroom and beyond. Over four days, participants will practice seeing, interpreting, and transforming the signs that structure our world. It’s a course for teachers who want to rediscover their power to make meaning—and to help others do the same.
A Note on Registration Fees
The Colloquium continues to be funded through a generous grant from the EE Ford Foundation, as well as participant fees and Santa Fe Prep’s operating budget. We have had to reevaluate our pricing structure this year in light of program expenses. This had led to an increase in registration fees. We are committed to keeping the cost to participants as low as possible while making the program sustainable so that we can offer this exceptional professional development experience year after year.
We also continue our commitment to one of the Colloquium’s founding principles: making a limited number of spaces in each course available to Santa Fe Public School teachers at no cost. If you are a Santa Fe Public School teacher, please contact Summar Aubrey, for more information and to receive a discount code.
