The Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the Multicultural Student Achievement Network (MSAN) today announced that more than 150 high school students and their chaperones from multiracial school districts across the country are meeting this week (Nov. 13-16) in East Lansing, MI for the 25th annual MSAN Student Conference.
A new multimedia resource developed by WCER researcher Brian Burt aims to draw more Black men into the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields using research-backed methods to support Black boys and men in STEM from primary school through doctoral studies and in home settings.
WCER's Epistemic Analytics lab shared tools and techniques with 29 attendees from across the country in an intensive, four-day program around quantitative ethnography, a methodology without peer in pulling human insights from big data.
The Multilingual Learning Research Center's Speaker Series highlights research about the teaching and learning of multilingual learners. The series started with WestEd's Haiwen Chu on "Multilingual Learners Co-Constructing Proofs and Representations: Linking Language and Logic."
Brendan Eagan and Andrew Ruis traveled to the South American nation to provide training on tools developed in the Epistemic Analytics lab of the Center for Research on Complex Thinking. The tools can pull rich new meaning about culture and human behavior from big data generated by pioneering programs like Uruguay's one-laptop-per-child program.
WCER and its projects host dozens of lectures, panel discussions and other events throughout the academic year.
