[EDTECH WEEK] - Disruptive Reconstruction: Making the American Dream Real Again…and for All

Tuesday, June 2, 11:00am - 12:30pm (CDT)

Time shown in-05:00 America, Chicago

Over a 40 year period, the probability of realizing the American Dream—earning more than one’s parents—has declined from a virtual certainty to, at best, a 50/50 shot. This was the pre-Covid reality. Today, these and other profound inequities have been dramatically unmasked and are stark in what this could mean for our young people and their futures.
In this session, we will draw on the discoveries from the science of learning and development to answer the questions: What is any person capable of under the right conditions? Is all stress bad for you? What is going to happen to learning in the era of Covid? Learning is more and more likely to move with the learner, wherever the learner is—what do we need to do to make that synchronous for all students? And how can we design learning environments that are flexible, integrated and use technology for both developmental and academic purposes? This provocative conversation with Jim Shelton, Pamela Cantor, M.D. and Melina Uncapher PhD will connect the dots implicated between the frontiers of developmental and learning science and pathways to educational opportunity and social and economic mobility for Americans young and older.
