You’ve done some incredible work thus far. Now it’s time to reflect on your journey and take action. How do you want to make an impact? What’s the change you want to create or foster? What steps can you begin to take today? Presentations in this strand will focus on fostering collaboration between generations within the educational community.
Academic Engagement helps create and advance relationships between educators and students, reinvent learning and collaboration, shrink long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of all learners. Presentations in this strand will focus on developing innovative approaches to empower all students.
When we amplify voices, we are advocating for the voices that have been systematically silenced in the past. Meaningful amplification of voices can provide a foundation for advocacy and create safe classrooms where everyone feels heard, respected and part of a community. Presentations in this strand focus on how we can use equitable practices to create safe and inclusive classrooms
Effective partnerships require educators, families, and communities to deepen collaboration and authentically engage in meaningful ways. Presentations in this strand will focus on leveraging inclusive practices to engage families and communities.
What practices, structures, and supports empower teachers to develop their craft? Presentations in this strand will empower educators to grow and advocate for equity including exploring topics such as growing leaders within schools and regions, establishing and supporting professional learning communities, leveraging positions to advocate for all our students, and developing pedagogical knowledge.
Moving from “you” and “me” to “us” is an essential component of equity-focused work. Teams of educators build trust and safety through their differences and explore the emotions that come up in the process. Presentations in this strand provide practical and applicable support to address imbalances in technology opportunities and outcomes.
