A two-year project finishing now delivered four days of free training to Madison's 4K teachers that was custom-designed to meet their needs while creating more community among them.
Amid the 2020 protests demanding justice for marginalized communities, Black students may struggle with racial trauma at work and in school. But internship hosts can help them cope.
How is COVID-19 affecting different cultures around the world? To find out, the newly formed International Society for Quantitative Ethnography (QE) launched the "QE COVID Data Challenge,” a seven-day data sprint involving nearly 100 data and research experts collaborating remotely from 16 countries, including Denmark, Hungary, Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka.
Designed to cushion the shift to distance learning, materials include tips around social stories, adaptive devices and understanding Individualized Education Programs to help ensure students learning at home get the services they’re due.
As COVID-19 triggers a surge in online internships, little is known about how they affect students' grades, social development and job prospects. WCER researchers Matthew Hora and Zi Chen are working to change that with a six-month, mixed-methods study.
