Saturday Seminar Series 2018-2019: Emerging and Converging on Equity
The Bay Area Writing, Science, and Mathematics Projects are creating the next generation professional growth experiences converging on the use of writing as a sense-making tool in the content areas.
We are generating new synergies to provide the teachers we serve with hands-on experiences to strengthen their capacity to support students communicating their conceptual understanding and reasoning. We need to do all this through a framework of equity.
Join a vibrant community of teachers and other educational leaders convening through UC Berkeley with a commitment to equity through practice-based in research.
