Conference Theme: Creative Teaching and Learning
Notwithstanding the significant challenges presented by the Pandemic, this global
crisis presented an exceptional time for learning. It was incumbent on teachers,
learners, educational leaders, and policy-makers to learn to be adaptable and resilient.
For educators, the Pandemic required an examination of traditional pedagogicalpractices with an eye to transformation and innovation. JUSTEC 2023 invites
conference participants to provide descriptions and analyses of a range of creative
teaching practices and situations, and how those practices have informed andtransformed teaching for the future, including: social and emotional learning;
effective virtual or hybrid teacher education pedagogy; innovative programs andpractices emerging from the pandemic; building community and social relationships
among teachers; mentor teacher recruitment and support; equity pedagogy andassessment practices; professional development/learning in schools; social contextsof learning (including family and student experiences); teaching conditions during
the pandemic; political dimensions of the pandemic and the impact on school policy
and teaching practice; STEM and literacy education; and brain and learning(neuroscience).
