The Emerging Pedagogies Summit brings educators, researchers, and academic and civic leaders together to share evidence-based practices, tell compelling stories, and strategize about how to scale transformative education and enact systems-level change for learners from pre-K through post-retirement.
This Summit is an opportunity to create a hub of applied research activities and innovative practices around topics which are spurring important conversations in teaching and learning right now. By advocating a forward-looking vision for education that spans from pre-K through post-retirement, and embracing learners and learning anytime, anywhere, the Summit aims to elevate the national and global conversations about innovative and emerging pedagogies. Our goal is not only to raise awareness of new teaching and learning ideas and practices, but also generate ideas and interest for applied research in emerging pedagogies.
