Channel: P-20 Network
Date: 2021-11-17

The Illinois P-20 Network's Fall Meeting in 2021 consisted of a series of individual panel discussions over a series of weeks addressing: the teacher shortage; equity and inclusion in schools, colleges, and universities; and, the implementation of the Illinois Career Pathway Endorsements.

- Equity in Practice: Connecting Learners with their Schools-Colleges-Universities - Illinois closely resembles the demographic composition of the United States as a whole, and communities across Illinois have become increasingly diverse in recent decades. Along with this diversity, schools, colleges, and universities across Illinois have prioritized the importance of equity and inclusion, both as a way of honoring all learners and staff members and as a way to ensure deeper and increased learning outcomes. This unique panel explores specific attitudes and actions that must be prevalent in learning organizations in order to most likely ensure strong interpersonal connections as the foundation for teaching and learning. Panelists include:
- Jocelyn Santana, Northern Illinois University
- Cherry G & Sam J, Palatine High School
