SUMMARY:Webinar: How and Why to Integrate STEM into Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 15 | 6pm ET\nThis online event is open to the public.\n\nResearchers and educators agree: Children demonstrate a clear readiness to engage in science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) learning early in life. And\, just as with language and literacy\, STEM education should start early in order to maximize its benefits and effectiveness. So why is STEM not woven more seamlessly into early childhood education? What can we do — in the classroom\, in homes\, in museums\, in research labs\, and in the halls of legislating bodies – to ensure that all young children have access to high-quality STEM learning early in life?\n\nThis panel consists of authors of and contributors to two major early STEM reports released this year from the Early Childhood STEM Working Group\, and from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and New America. The latest research findings on the importance and impact of early STEM\, as well as practical recommendations\, will be discussed. The recommendations identify specific steps involving research\, policy\, and teaching practice that will promote dramatic improvement in early STEM education for all young children.\n\nAvailable for one-hour of PD credit.Learn More

SUMMARY:Webinar: What’s Next for STEM Education? Boosting Teachers and Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 16 | 1pm-2:30pm ET\nThis online event is open to the public.\n\nThere is a national consensus that today’s students need more opportunities to build skills in science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) across the PreK-12 grade span. Teachers are a critical piece for providing those opportunities\, but barriers abound. How are teachers recruited? How are they trained? Should education schools approach preparation differently? And what about educators in the early grades\, kindergarten\, and pre-K? What stands in the way of enabling high-quality STEM teaching and learning experiences for young children?\n\n100Kin10’s efforts to name and map the grand challenges in STEM teaching are providing insights and recommendations for tackling these questions. So are two new reports: STEM Starts Early: Grounding Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math Education in Early Childhood\, published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and New America with support from the National Science Foundation\, and Can UTeach? Assessing the Relative Effectiveness of STEM Teachers\, published by the National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER)\, a program of the American Institutes for Research (AIR).\n\nJoin New America\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, AIR\, and 100Kin10 for a wide-ranging discussion of the ideas emerging from these reports and initiatives—and what they mean for policy making at the local\, state\, and federal levels.\nLearn More

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tackling World Issues by Fostering Global Competence in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In a rapidly changing and complex world\, how can we make sure that our young people develop an understanding of global issues and the empathy necessary to engage in making change? Join the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, World Savvy and World’s Largest Lesson at 3pm ET on Monday\, March 13 for a free Share My Lesson webinar on creating global citizens. These three organizations will provide you with three distinct\, but complementary ways for students to understand the world around them.\n\nFirst\, World’s Largest Lesson will introduce you to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, the Global Goals\, which are a plan for people and planet\, set out for the world to deliver by 2030 and agreed by 193 Heads of State. When introduced into the classroom\, and woven throughout your curriculum\, students see new purpose for learning\, build an understanding of what makes a sustainable world for all and realize how they can play a part in making this happen. World’s Largest Lesson will provide you with free resources and tools for educators and guidance for students to take action – personal\, local\, national and global – in support of the Goals.\n\nWorld Savvy will lead you through an interactive session\, exploring global competence and how to create meaningful\, student driven learning experiences using World Savvy’s Case Study approach. World Savvy’s Case Studies highlight global issues with local significance and include a variety of curated resources to ensure access points for all learners. Participants will actively engage in the World Savvy Case Study approach as learners\, acquiring background knowledge while building empathy\, investigating multiple perspectives and deepening their understanding through inquiry. The session will also include discussion about how students have engaged in this approach in middle and high schools in Oakland\, CA\, Minneapolis\, MN\, and Newark\, NJ.\n\nNext\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop will introduce you to Digital Play for Global Citizens\, which is a guide to some playful resources that educators and parents can use to help children learn about\, understand\, and engage with our increasingly interconnected world. Divided into three parts\, the guide introduces tools to 1) help students build awareness of themselves and the world around them\, 2) recognize and investigate the complex and systemic causes of events across cultures and history\, and 3) use digital play to explore the natural world. From exploring boundaries\, borders\, and geography in context; to developing empathy and understanding of diversity; from investigating the systemic causes of economic injustice; to developing a sense of curiosity and wonder about nature\, we introduce tools and techniques for using digital play to develop in students all aspects of global competence.\n\nFinally\, all three organizations will engage in a broader discussion about the importance of creating global citizens.\n\nAvailable for one-hour of PD credit. A certificate of completion will be available for download at the end of your session.Learn More and Register

SUMMARY:Future of Childhood Salon: Immersive Media and Child Development
DESCRIPTION:On November 7 and 8\, 2018\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University\, and Dubit will host the inaugural Future of Childhood Salon on Immersive Media and Child Development. At this day-and-a-half workshop\, we will proactively plan for the future of immersive media—i.e.\, virtual\, augmented\, and mixed realities—in the lives of preadolescents before these technologies become ubiquitous among children this age. A cross-sectoral group of approximately 65 child development and media researchers\, learning scientists\, child health experts\, hardware and content developers\, educators\, journalists\, and funders will look at these emerging media via a cascading series of considerations. These will be organized around necessary choices in order for VR\, AR\, and MR—from such time they are approved for use by pre-teens—to be unique\, essential\, safe\, engaging\, and beneficial to children’s socio-emotional\, cognitive\, and physical development. The goal is to emerge with an agenda for needed research\, a framework for responsible development of immersive experiences for children\, and industry-wide best practices that can evolve over time via cross-sectoral partnerships.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Reframing Learning Across Boundaries: Building Public Understanding and Support
DESCRIPTION:We know that children spend more than 80% of their time outside of school. But research indicates that millions of preschool and school age children—especially those from low-income communities—too often lack access to the connected\, intentional\, evidence-based educational nourishment that is needed to propel lifelong learning. To combat these inequities\, policymakers and program developers have targeted expanded learning opportunities as a national priority. But research by the FrameWorks Institute has identified a disconnect that needs to be addressed: most people don’t fully appreciate the value of learning outside of school or the need to connect learning between different environments. This lack of appreciation for how\, where\, and when learning occurs holds important implications in building public support for needed reforms. Practitioners\, program designers\, and advocates need strategies to build greater understanding among their constituents about the value of these connections.\n\nAt the Summit\, co-hosted by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center\, the FrameWorks Institute\, and PBS\, a carefully selected group of  leaders from across sectors and geographies will craft creative new strategies to support programs and policies that advance learning across boundaries. The Cooney Center will share findings from its research on how parents and teachers are connecting children’s learning across settings\, and FrameWorks will share insights on how the general public and decision-makers think about children’s learning environments. The event will use these resources to launch a toolkit for the “reframing” of the national conversation and provide a chance to advance organizational alliances moving forward.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Education Market: VR’s Best Hope? at XR for Change Summit
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, June 17\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center presents a panel discussion at the XR for Change Summit in New York City.\n\nFor years\, experts have been predicting that immersive technologies like AR and VR are on the cusp of breaking into the mainstream market. But despite the dazzling experiences that users may encounter when they first try a VR headset\, industry reports suggest there continue to be signs of instability in the hardware marketplace\, and that consumer demand hasn’t been as strong as anticipated. Perhaps the classroom is where AR and VR will really shine.\n\nChildren are enthusiastic about AR and VR\, and teachers have expressed greater engagement around lessons that incorporate immersive media. But is it safe? How are these technologies being deployed in the classroom – are teachers receiving the training and support they need to implement successful lessons? What happens when the novelty wears off? And as AR and VR continue to gain traction in the education marketplace\, how can we ensure equitable access to these learning experiences for all students?\n\n \n\nView the full agenda for the XR for Change Summit.\n\n
