Teachers Making the Shift to Equitable, Learner-Centered Education

An item from the neo-liberals.

Join Us for a Webinar: The traditional “sit and get” classroom will not help us achieve educational equity or promote the deeper learning skills our students need to succeed. The long game of systems-change work is critical to advancing learner-centered education, but how can the system support the transition to learner-centered education through teachers’ mental models, motivations, and moves? The upcoming CompetencyWorks report, “Teachers Making the Shift to Equitable, Learner-Centered Education: Harnessing Mental Models, Motivations, and Moves,” provides a comprehensive, research-based response to these questions. In this webinar, authors Wendy Surr, Kim Carter, and Andrea Stewart will explore key recommendations outlined in the report, joined by practitioners Patrick Hardy and Chanda Hassett to explore what these supports look like in practice.   Register Now Speakers: Wendy Surr, Senior Research Consultant Kim Carter, Executive Director, Q.E.D. Foundation, Inc. Andrea Stewart, Founder and CEO, Learning Couture, LLC Joined By: Patrick Hardy, Principal, Hinsdale South High School, Darien, IL Chanda Hassett, 6-12 SPED/MTSS Specialist, Norwalk Community School District, Norwalk, IA When: Tuesday, October 11th, 2022 | 3:00 p.m. ET Where: Zoom | Register here For questions, please contact the Aurora Institute team.

Igniting a Vision for Education Systems Transformation: Future Directions in Policy and Practice Register Now What would it take to transform education systems such that each child has what they need to develop their full academic, social, and personal capacity? At the Aurora Institute, we believe the time is long past due to fundamentally rethink our nation’s education system. Incremental change is not enough. To transform education, we must reimagine every aspect of the education system. From time and place to path and space, we must examine the world of possibilities where learning is unbounded, anytime, anywhere, and personalized for each student. What does this look like around the globe and nation post-pandemic? How do we get started in charting a course for rethinking our education systems from the ground up? Join this Aurora Institute Symposium 2022 keynote for a national and global perspective on how to achieve the change our students need, including a call to action to: Redesign for next generation teaching and learning; Recognize learning that happens anytime, anywhere; Reimagine assessments to be meaningful to students; Redefine the purpose and vision of education toward human flourishing for each and every student, especially the most underserved; Reframe the narrative around what is possible for real change from a systems perspective; Research education innovations from national and global best practices; and Rethink accountability to empower youth and communities to drive meaningful change from the ground up. The Aurora Institute Symposium is the field’s largest gathering of education innovators working to transform K-12 education.
