Keynote Presentation: Blankets Cover, Teachers Transform: Centering Justice in Science Curriculum

Thursday, July 29 • 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Principles for Equitable Learning Post Pandemic

STRAND: STEM Ecosystems: Supporting Diverse, Equitable Practices and Partnerships

Show Details

The pandemic has reminded us that learning demands strong teacher-student relationships and opportunities to connect ideas from science to students’ and families’ everyday lives and communities. Equity demands we not return to the “old normal” and that we reject the false dichotomy between learning and students’ social, cultural, emotional, and intellectual well-being. In this panel presentation, authors of the Learning Policy Institute and Spencer Foundation report “Summer Learning and Beyond: Principles for Equitable Learning Postpandemic” will describe principles grounded in the learning sciences for equitable learning in a post-pandemic world.

SPEAKERS:
William Penuel (University of Colorado Boulder: Boulder, CO), Shirin Vossoughi (Northwestern University: Evanston, IL), Christopher Collins (Cajon Valley School District: El Cajon, CA), Ann Ishimaru (University of Washington: Seattle, WA)
