Pedagogical Analytics Friday, April 14, 9:50 to 11:20 am Hyatt Regency Chicago, East Tower - Ballroom Level - Grand Ballroom B
Chair: Edmund W. Gordon (Teachers College, Columbia University) Panelists: Lorrie A. Shepard (University of Colorado - Boulder), Paul G. LeMahieu (The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching), Jennifer Randall (University of Michigan - Ann Arbor), Temple Sharese Lovelace (Advanced Education Research and Development Fund), Elham Zandvakili (University of Massachusetts - Amherst), Ernest Washington (University of Massachusetts - Amherst)
Toward a Functional Analysis of Human Adaptation in the Service of Learning. This panel represents an effort to expand the field of educational assessment and analysis to privilege the development of ability as much as it has promoted the measurement of ability. This has been a continuous theme of Dr. Gordon’s life, ever since he began his career as a clinician conducting psychological testing of children in Brooklyn during the 1950’s, extending into his leadership of The Gordon Commission on the Future of Assessment for Education. This group advanced the notion that educational assessment can and should inform and improve learning and its teaching, as well as measure developed ability. This is a conversation among elders and younger scholars concerning a previously read draft of my monograph.
The Future of Education Research and Development Friday, April 14, 2:50 to 4:20 pm Hyatt Regency Chicago, East Tower - Ballroom Level - Grand Hall I
Chair: Edmund W. Gordon (Teachers College, Columbia University) Panelists: Na'ilah Suad Nasir (Spencer Foundation), Jim Shelton (Blue Meridian), Mark Schneider (Institute of Education Sciences), James L. Moore (National Science Foundation)
Developing a strong capacity in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to engage in research and knowledge production in the education sciences (and the social sciences more generally) to enable strong alignment of the educational mission and purpose of these critical institutions with the K-12 needs of the Black community. Getting something akin to this in the social sciences was a long-term goal of one of Dr. Gordon’s mentors, W.E.B. DuBois, and is something that could serve as an inspiration to this continuing need. We recognize and applaud an emphasis on the pathways program in working with minority-serving institutions, as well as comprehensively searching for opportunities across all of the IES programs. This panel explores investments critical to the future of Education R&D.
Human Variation and How People Learn Thursday, May 4, 1:15 to 2:15 pm CT
Chair: Kenji Hakuta (Stanford University) Participants: Edmund W. Gordon (Teachers College, Columbia University), Carol D. Lee (Northwestern University), Pamela Cantor (Turnaround for Children Inc.), Ezekiel J. Dixon-Roman (Teachers College, Columbia University)
We propose a national research agenda and synthesis of research that extend the report of the National Academies report How People Learn II to specifically address implications of educational science to support the design of appropriate and sufficient pedagogical intervention. This would lead to a focus on educational opportunities that are equitable, and not just equal -- appropriate and sufficient to the needs and characteristics of the learning persons. The need to address this is particularly amplified by the evidence of learning gaps that are becoming increasingly apparent.
