It's a banner week for our learning sciences communities as we're currently hosting both the annual LearnLab Summer School and the IEEE ICICLE conference at Carnegie Mellon. Welcome to CMU!

Teaching about slavery in schools isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.

Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

Read more from a historian who specializes in how slavery is taught in K-12 classrooms:

: Inspiring article from Durham Technical Community College & Durham Public Schools on students graduating with a high school diploma and an associate degree. The goal is to have 25% of students graduate with these credentials by 2029. T-ATP would love to take action to help these students learn and pursue cybersecurity! Link: https://shorturl.at/rwDM2

Science Education in an Age of Misinformation

#Misinformation is a grave threat to #science.

In this report, generated by an international group of leading scientists and #education researchers, we outline the nature of that threat along with why it is important and how it can be addressed.

Been thinking a lot about #feedback and #grading in #k12education. I walk by this picture almost everyday…feedback only works if students use it, and grades often lead to that feedback never being read. @edutooters

Ok, I set myself up with a more official account on the social sciences server, but I thought I might try my luck here, too. Are you or do you know a middle school STEM teacher who currently uses VR as a tool for teaching STEM topics?

I'm looking for experienced middle school STEM teachers (grades 6-8) to participate in semi-structures Zoom interviews focused on the implementation process for classroom activities in VR.

If you're interested, please let me know. This is my thesis research. Thanks in advance!! #vr #metaverse #stem #stemEducation #k12education #k12 #immersiveVirtualReality #ImmersiveLearning #science #xr #teachers #middleSchool #constructivism #EducationalVR #educationalTechnology #edTech

My co-author Laura Balogh and I will be presenting about the Therapeutic Inclusion Program (the topic of our book), with a focus on group counseling , at the American Group Psychotherapy Association annual conference in New York City on Thursday March 9th.

Consider coming to the conference if you are a mental health professional, or in training. And if you're coming to the conference, be sure to catch our session! #agpaconnect #inclusion #grouppsychotherapy #k12education

Not all students have access to the same level of parental help on homework - and that causes problems
