The Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools is proud to announce Dr. Pedro Noguera as the keynote speaker for its 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference: Past, Present, and Future.
What are the aims of the
2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference?
NYU Metro Center’s 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference: Past, Present, and Future aims to broaden knowledge and intentionally break fresh ground in the development of an inclusive educational system that invites all of our children to achieve their best possible academic, socioemotional, and cultural development. The 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference will push the boundaries of what educational equity means, and for whom, and will share research, practices, strategies, and tools with attendees that can be shared with colleagues on how different education equity leaders can play a role in improving beliefs, policies, and practices in schools, districts, regions, and greater school-wide communities. To that end, the theme of NYU Metro Center’s 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference is decolonizing education, wellness and sustainability in leading equity efforts, in addition to equity-based practices that districts and schools have developed and sustained.
