Lifting Our Gaze: Students Lead The Way
Remarkable things are possible when education is something done with students, not to students. That’s why the the 2021 EL Education Virtual Summit was co-designed and co-facilitated by students, attended by a diverse community of more than 700 researchers, students, educators, and experts. Review the catalog of more than 50 sessions.
With students at the helm, we refined our roadmap for education through an unprecedented pandemic and its aftermath, charted our path to a new summit, and seized the chance to reimagine stronger schools where all learners experience:
- Instruction and assessment that challenge, engage, and empower learners
- Access to standards-based, content-rich, culturally affirming curriculum
- School culture that fosters positive identity, belonging, agency, and purpose
- Explicit anti-racist discussion, practice, and action
