Building bridges requires moving from “the work I do” to “the work we do” to create equity in our schools and communities. Through this stand, we aim to explore innovative pathways that empower you to become an ambassador, equipped with the necessary tools and inspiration to drive critical change within your communities. Additionally, collaboration is an essential component of equity-focused work, and this strand immerses you in dynamic presentations that offer practical and actionable strategies. Discover and harness the power of collaboration, drawing communities closer to their shared purpose.
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 support teachers in developing innovative approaches to instruction that empower all students to engage and advocate for their learning.
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 classroom where everyone feels heard, respected and part of a community. Presentations in this strand focus on how we can use equitable practices to amplify voices for a more equitable future.
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 that foster significant engagement with our families and communities, empowering them with tools beyond the classroom.
What practices, structures, and supports empower teachers to develop their craft? Presentations in this strand will explore 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.
This strand invites experts, advocates and novices alike from various disciplines to engage in meaningful conversations that address the imbalance of opportunities and outcomes in technology. Our aim is to foster a deeper understanding of the intricate ways in which technology can either perpetuate existing inequalities or serve as a powerful tool for positive change.
