If you were able to join us last Friday night at the Peace, Love, Saklan Auction, you might already know this exciting news: Linda Lathrop has been nominated to the PBLWorks National Faculty. This prestigious position places Linda among just 75 educators who are collaborating with PBLWorks to train thousands of teachers across the United States and beyond.
Linda’s nomination is not only a testament to her hard work but also to the dedication and teamwork exemplified by our Saklan Faculty. Crafting and executing high-level project-based work demands courage and a willingness to be vulnerable—qualities our faculty possesses in abundance.
With Linda’s appointment, Saklan gains direct access to the expertise of PBLWorks, enhancing our deep commitment to project work. Even more remarkable is the fact that our innovative approaches at Saklan will influence educational practices worldwide, giving our school a voice in the global conversation about the future of education.
Building on this momentum, this year’s Fund-a-Need campaign is aimed at enhancing our facilities to foster truly effective and collaborative project based learning (PBL). While our educators are developing groundbreaking projects, our current physical spaces limit the full potential of their innovative teaching methods and our students’ learning experiences. This year’s campaign focuses on creating environments that support the dynamic nature of PBL, with adaptable furniture and technology designed to facilitate collaboration and creativity.
By supporting our Fund-a-Need initiative, you are investing in a future where education transcends traditional boundaries, empowering Saklan students to explore, innovate, and lead. Join us in crafting an environment that nurtures the thinkers, creators, and changemakers of tomorrow—right here at Saklan and around the world.
Thank you for your support and generosity,
David
