This year’s MSAN Institute offers two days of virtual professional development focused on advancing anti-racist school leadership and teaching practices, including a panel of MSAN high school students/equity leaders who will share their views on what educators can do to support students of color.
The pandemic has disrupted the lives of many people. College students, in particular, have had to make significant adjustments to their education, career goals and entry into the workforce. The Center for Research on College-Workforce Transitions profiles five diverse groups of students affected by COVID through a new digital hub called, “College Life During the Pandemic: Stories of Students Navigating Unprecedented Times.”
Six projects for 2021 tackle themes including anti-racism in learning communities and teacher development, equity in academic and career planning, and the impact of COVID-19 in family supports and early-grade literacy instruction.
If you missed WCER Deputy Director Mariana Castro and other panelists talking about how to transform conversations into action for lasting change live during the Feb. 25 webinar, you can view the YouTube video recording of the event anytime.
WCER researchers are helping advisers better connect with the country’s top PhD science students from underrepresented groups through a $1.2 million program of culturally aware mentorship education at the renowned Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Maryland, plus leadership training for mentees.
