SUMMARY:By/With/For Youth Workshops: Promoting Teen and Tween Collaboration with Public Media
DESCRIPTION:As part of our By/ With/ For Youth: Inspiring Next Gen Public Media Audiences initiative\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop invites you to mark your calendars for an upcoming series of capacity-building workshops about collaborating with youth in public media. Designed for producers\, directors\, and others committed to growing youth participation in public media\, the workshops will highlight research-backed best practices for engaging tweens and teens. Attendees will leave each virtual workshop with examples of youth engagement work from outside of the public media ecosystem and will hear from program leaders and youth about impactful approaches. Each workshop will be 90 minutes long. During the first 30 minutes\, researchers from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and panel guests will share research and related program examples. Participants will then take part in working sessions with break-out groups to reflect and consider how to apply insights to their contexts. Please join us.  More details regarding speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. \n\n \n\n \n\n 	Workshop III: Content and Platform Innovation with Youth /July 13\, 2022\, 1:00 pm EST \nNow more than ever\, youth are looking for opportunities to use media in creative\, interactive ways. Whether creating videos\, spearheading social media campaigns\, or sharing original artwork\, today’s youth are proficient content creators and sharers. In order to reach youth audiences\, public media creators are finding innovative ways to engage youth as not only viewers\, but as co-creators as well.Drawing on research about youth-adult collaboration\, and insights from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center’s Next Gen research\, this workshop will provide content creators with effective strategies for engaging in collaborative projects with youth.Dr. Yalda T. Uhls\, professor at UCLA and founder of The Center for Scholars and Storytellers\, will join as a featured speaker\, along with members of the Center’s youth engagement team. They will share insights about ways in which adults and youth can co-design innovative media projects.\n\nThe Joan Ganz Cooney Center’s youth fellows will also share their areas of expertise\, providing creators with ideas for ways in which they can engage with youth who have diverse technical and creative skillsets.\n\n \n\nPrevious Workshops:\n\n 	Models of Youth-Adult Collaboration for Public Media / April 26\, 2022\nBen Kirshner\, Professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development at the University of Colorado Boulder\, will discuss his work with CU Engage\, a center at the University of Colorado that works with community groups to address complex public challenges through academic courses\, research projects\, and creative work. Ben will discuss his experiences developing equity-oriented partnerships with youth organizations and his approach to youth-adult partnerships. \nWe’ll also hear from Molly Josephs\, the founder of This Teenage Life podcast\, and youth crew members about what it takes to create an authentically collaborative experience for young contributors. \n\n 	 Understanding Youth: A Prerequisite for Creating Programs By/For/With Tweens and Teens /May 26\, 1:00 pm EST\nPublic media stations know young children well\, informed by decades of work and research. Work with tweens and teens\, on the other hand\, is new for most. Learning about this Next Gen audience requires relationships and connections– with youth themselves\, with others doing this work\, and with research– in order to generate insights that inspire experimentation and innovation.  Drawing from the Cooney Center’s upcoming research brief\, Understanding Youth: A Prerequisite for Creating Programs By/For/With Tweens and Teens\, this workshop will help stations consider strategies for deepening understanding about youth. Dr. Jason Yip\, associate professor of digital youth at The Information School at the University of Washington and Director of KidsTeam UW\, will join as a featured speaker. Dr. Yip will share insights on participatory co-design of new technologies with youth\, including equity-based strategies for relationship-building and adult roles of facilitation and support. Participants will engage in small-group breakout sessions to share approaches for centering youth needs and building connections with t(w)eens\, partners\, and research in order to strengthen work and innovate new approaches.

SUMMARY:SXSW 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Joan Ganz Cooney Center is thrilled to participate in two sessions at SXSW 2023 this March. If you’re in Austin\, we invite you to join us at the JW Marriott on March 10 and 11th.\nDesigning Tech for Children’s Well-Being\nThere has been a great deal of conversation about technology’s potential harms for children. But what does well-being for children in the digital age look like? Can we design digital experiences that allow children to learn emotional regulation\, develop competence and creativity\, feel empowered and self-actualized\, and connect with others in a diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive environment\, while also keeping them safe? We will discuss the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) project—a global\, multi-stakeholder\, and cross-sectoral initiative that aims (1) to create a framework that maps how the design of children’s digital experiences affects their well-being\, and (2) to provide guidance as to how informed design choices can promote positive well-being outcomes.\nMarch 10 | 2:30 pm CST | JW Marriott Salon 7-8\n\n \nDesigning for Digital Thriving\nHow can we create & foster healthy\, inclusive digital spaces that enable individuals and communities to thrive? Riot Games\, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\, the Fair Play Alliance & IDEO came together to host an Open Innovation Challenge to champion responsible design practices that foster healthy\, inclusive communities in a rapidly changing digital world. By learning how to intentionally design online spaces with digital thriving in mind\, we believe that anyone can help individuals\, groups\, & communities truly thrive in today’s connected world. No matter what industry you’re a part of\, we invite you to share in our vision of creating a thriving digital world for all.\nMarch 11 | 11:30 am CST | JW Marriott Salon 7-8\n\n \n\nWe also invite SXSW participants to take a break in the LEGO Play Lounge in Room 403 of the JW Marriott on March 10. Recharge and play with us!

DESCRIPTION:In October 2022\, The Nation’s Report Card revealed that fourth- and eighth-grade students assessed in the 2021-22 school year experienced the largest declines in mathematics performance in the program’s history. These national declines highlight the unprecedented learning crisis facing students following the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before the pandemic\, gaps in mathematics achievement of students with the highest and lowest performance were already widening.In September 2023\, the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES)\, joined by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO); the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS); the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB); the National Science Foundation (NSF); and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will convene a free three-day summit to bring together national\, state\, and local leaders to explore efforts to address this crisis.Leading experts will discuss the latest scholarship on strategies for mathematics instruction and academic interventions; highlight solutions rooted in research and successful classroom practices; and explore emerging resources.Tuesday\, September 19 at 3:45 PM ETEveryone can teach\, everyone can learnThe Joan Ganz Cooney Center’s Executive Director Michael Preston will speak with Sonny Rodriguez-Mena (Bilingual Special Education Teacher at the NYC Department of Education) about how K-2 computer science provides opportunities for joy\, expression\, agency\, and intergenerational learning – especially for bilingual students and students with disabilities.\nLearn more and register here
