What is our vision for student success in the aftermath of the pandemic?
Live Discussion
Join us for this pan-Canadian Live Discussion taking place virtually on Monday, May 16th, at 7:00 pm ET.
Part 1: Four researchers will tackle one question:
“What is our vision for student success in the aftermath of the pandemic?”
Key Discussion Questions
- What should be done to support academic recovery?
- Why is it challenging to embed well-being in school cultures?
- How does “get back to normal” address the challenges and structural inequities that have been laid bare and exacerbated by the pandemic in the education system?
- Is “covering the curriculum” enough for students to thrive in society?
(optional) Part 2: Small-Group Discussions With Our Speakers
This is your chance to ask questions and share your feedback based on your day-to-day realities and challenges. This is a rare opportunity for researchers and educators to connect informally, push each other’s thinking, and spark new ideas for future education research priorities.
* Note that the small-group discussions are a maximum of 40 participants. We are currently at capacity.
This is time well spent to :
- Deepen your knowledge of complex emerging issues in K-12 education that affect your day-to-day work as an educator and education leader.
- Influence and challenge how research can be applied in practice.
- Network with a passionate group of education changemakers from across Canada who wants to bridge the research-implementation gap in our K-12 education systems.
Who should attend:
Teachers and education workers (school psychologists, child and youth workers, education assistants, etc.), school and school district leaders, teacher candidates, education graduate students, teacher training faculty members, and education policy-makers with a keen interest in cultivating a stronger relationship between research and practice.
Format (1.5 hours):
- Part 1: 30-minute full group discussion with a 15-minute Q&A session, followed by
- Part 2: (optional) 45-minute small-group facilitated discussions with one researcher
* Note that the small-group discussions are a maximum of 40 participants. We are currently at capacity.
