Largely spurred by the 1983 publication of A Nation at Risk, the standards-based reform movement created changes across the education system to align with the idea that student learning should be measured against an objective benchmark for performance. This new approach impacted all aspects of education, including teacher preparation, curriculum and assessment, and accountability measures for educators, schools, and districts. Join us for this conversation with EduDream exploring how the movement addressed structural inequities, along with its unintended consequences for students of color and what equitable approaches may be taken to address those consequences.

Much of black culture and history can be found in Black Culture Centers (BCCs) throughout Predominately White Institutions (PWIs) across the United States. BCCs help students build community, understand their history and give a greater sense of cultural awareness. In addition, studies have found that cultural centers can support the recruitment and retention of diverse students. In this webinar, we will learn how to tap into these resources, from various BCC leaders.

On June 30, 2021, the NCAA approved an interim policy that allows student-athletes to make money off their “name, image, and likeness (NIL),” effective July 1. The interim policy rescinds long-standing rules that prohibited student-athletes from making money through endorsements and other ways of selling and monetizing the rights to their NIL. Over the past few years, governors in 28 states have signed legislation or issued executive orders that allow student-athletes to profit off the use of their NIL. Panelists will discuss how NIL has altered the postsecondary education landscape, what this means for future student-athletes, and how states are using policies and practices to support and protect students.

As the U.S. economy continues to adapt to technological changes amid the pandemic, there is an ever-growing demand for skilled labor. How can we best equip students with the right job skills for future success, and what can states do to accelerate these efforts? We have partnered with former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise to better understand the Covid Constituency, a group of stakeholders supporting transformational educational change, including improved alignment of education and the workforce. This conversation is based on the upcoming publication of a new Covid Constituency policy brief titled, “Human Capital for the 21st Century: Aligning Education with Future Workforce Needs.” Join us as we discuss the increasing need for high-quality workforce development initiatives.
