    Exploring Next-Generation Education: K-12 Trends that Matter for 2022

    Yes, we’ve had another extremely challenging year—a global pandemic, ongoing racial injustice and inequities, economic challenges, an insurrection on our nation’s capitol, and a new surge with Omicron.  Educators navigated their way through these compounded issues. They summoned their creativity and resiliency to support and engage students. With this dramatic backdrop, we move into 2022 with disappointments and frustration combined with hope for a brighter collective future. The goal of our virtual panel discussion is to surface K-12 trends that matter for 2022. As community members, what do we need to be relentless about? As policymakers, what do we need to let go? As educators, how do we create space for transformation that can usher in new ways of thinking about and doing education?

    Exploring Next Generation Education: Addressing Trauma as Students Return to School

    Join Hiller Spires, Ph.D., Friday Institute executive director, for the next session of our Exploring Next Generation Education Webinar Series, which will focus on addressing trauma for students returning to schools. Teachers and social workers are important points of contact for children and families who have experienced trauma. However, studies in both teacher education and social work preparation suggests that educators and social workers do not feel prepared to engage and address issues related to family trauma, which has seen a significant increase during the COVID-19 pandemic as reported by the CDC.  This session will explore insight gained from regional NC educator surveys and focus groups as well as NC social worker and educator representatives on how we can inform our educator support systems, teaching practices and stakeholder outreach to better support staff and community needs.

    Exploring Next-Generation Education: Educational Equity and the Science of Reading: What’s at Stake?

    The ability to read is fundamental to full participation in a democratic society and serves as the basis for ongoing opportunity and success. Unfortunately, children who do not learn to read well typically do not perform well in school and often have subsequent challenges in postsecondary education and careers. The Excellent Public Schools Act of 2021 puts front and center support for reading excellence, and specifically the science of reading, in North Carolina. The purpose of this panel discussion is to explore the relationship between educational equity and the science of reading and to articulate what is at stake as NC educators implement the state’s reading plan post-COVID.

    Reopening Schools in Uncertain Times

    Each new school year comes with challenges such as scheduling bus routes, assigning classes and communicating with families.

    Becoming an Anti-Racist ELA Teacher

    Teaching for an anti-racist future starts with educators. According to a new paper written by three NC State College of Education assistant professors of English education and literacy, Michelle Falter, Ph.D., Chandra Alston, Ph.D., and Crystal Lee, Ed.D., “an anti-racist educator must actively work to dismantle the structures, policies, institutions and systems that create barriers and perpetuate race-based inequities for people of color.” This webinar, inspired by this paper and featuring two of its authors, will focus on how to actively move forward toward anti-racist ELA teaching. Hosts Dr. Hiller Spires, Executive Director and Associate Dean, Friday Institute for Educational Innovation Dr. Jose Picart, Deputy Director, Friday Institute for Educational Innovation Panelists Dr. Michelle Marie Falter, Assistant Professor, NC State College of Education Dr. Crystal Lee, Assistant Professor, NC State College of Education Jayda Smith, 7th Grade English and Social Studies Teacher, North Guilford Middle School James Daniels, Middle Grades English and Social Studies Education Student, NC State College of Education
