Our Continuous Learning Webinar Was a Great Example of Continuous Learning
Perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised to hear the panelists for our Innovation & Continuous Learning webinar take the conversation back to the very first webinar on equity and agency, but it was gratifying to see the principles Aspen Education presented in May tied together: What we are learning and seeing right now in schools has to be grounded in the voices of those most affected.
We were also struck by panelists Frances Messano, Sheila Riley, and Ash Vasudeva calling out the need for partnerships, coherence, and a willingness – even a demand — to think about the education system in new and disruptive ways. These concepts, too, were embraced in the other webinars in our summer series.
With the grounding of our discussion of innovation, we scanned the resources available in this webinar and some of the earlier work, and would like to offer this resource list for seizing the moment to build the kind of schools and systems we want and kids need.
