Learning Time: In Pursuit of Educational Equity
Sat, April 14, 2:15 to 3:45pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Second Floor, Sutton CenterSession Type: Invited Speaker Session
Abstract
This session explores the proposition that public schools can drive social equity in America only if we rethink and reframe the current concept of public education as “schooling” (something that occurs between 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, 180 days a year, inside school buildings and classrooms). Practitioners provide cases/models in which school and system leaders seek to disrupt the links between family background and educational success by using time-expanding, youth-sector responses to social, community and neighborhood challenges. Scholars, who have examined the cases, will share theory and evidence that help explain why and how approaches that expand and reorganize time, space, and people have the potential to support meaningful, complex, deep, and engaging learning for all students.
