Please join us for an innovative day of collaborative problem solving with researchers, teachers, parents, policy influencers, and funders. The collaboratory will address the long-standing gap between research, policy and practice in STEM education by engaging in design thinking, developing new models for sustained collaborations, and embracing equity in STEM.
What is a collaboratory? A collaboratory addresses the long-standing gap between research, policy, and practice by engaging in equal expert dialogue, creating critical engagement forums, and developing new models for sustained collaboration. Our Collaboratory is not a typical conference or professional development workshop. It is a unique forum that positions everyone at the same table as experts and equally-valued contributors; it recognizes that no one person or sector knows everything, and that we have a better chance of finding creative solutions when everyone’s perspectives are valued.
Why is the collaboratory planned on MLK Day? Dr. Martin Luther King advocated for better education as a means of addressing social injustices and expanding opportunities for marginalized groups. Fifty years after MLK’s assassination, there are still vast inequities in education, especially in STEM. A central goal of our collaboratory is to develop innovative ways to promote equity in STEM through the lens of Mind, Brain, and Education.
Additionally, as a deliberate effort to include classroom teachers as experts, we have organized the collaboratory on a day when all teachers are off school. CTLE credits are available for teachers!
What is Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE)? MBE is an emerging field at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and education. A central mission of the field is to close the gap between research, policy, and educational practice.
Am I an MBEer? Yes! Anyone interested in education is part of our community. We need diverse voices and expertise at our Collaboratory!
