Reimagining Education for all with Kathy Stoehr, Ph.D. and Keith Yocam, M.A. on Friday, November 13 at 3pm PST
The Covid-19 pandemic has created an especially challenging time for students, families, teachers, and communities. However, once the stress of the pandemic is removed, education has the potential to move forward in new and exciting directions. Virtual learning blended with traditional academic contexts can incite the germination of new teaching, learning, and pedagogical approaches. A new generation of educators is being prepared to lead the charge to expand learning opportunities for ALL students, to prepare new leaders and education policies, and to promote a more socially just and equitably-based society.
