Who, What, Why, and How? Developing Effective, Student-Centered Educational Systems to Support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our children are growing up in an increasingly diverse nation at a time when changes in technology are rapidly reshaping the workplace and our society. The demands on what students need to know and be able to do, and with whom they need to be able to do it, are more complex than ever before. Fulfilling the promise of public education in this day and age requires us to rethink the who, what, why, and how of teaching. In this session (part moderated panel/part interactive “open space”), we will explore the intersection of school-based practices and the policy recommendations necessary to support student-centered learning for the increasingly complex and diverse 21st century.
