Learning, Joy, and Equity: A New Framework for Elementary Education Webinar Event
The Children’s Equity Project and New America hosted a launch event on Tuesday, October 15 introducing a new framework for elementary education. The framework builds on previous foundational efforts centered on children and the ways we know children learn, with a focus on disrupting well-documented, historically rooted, and contemporarily entrenched biases in learning systems. While there is no single ideal elementary school experience, there are core ingredients to which every child needs and deserves access. Guided by research, data, learnings from schools across the United States, parent and family voice, and a desire to design child-centered, joyful, and effective spaces for learning, the framework consists of 14 core ingredients.
The event featured an overview of the framework followed by a panel discussion featuring teacher, family, and principal perspectives. Watch the event below!
