Future Ready Advisor and Elementary Principal in the Colton Unified School District in California, Jessica Gomez (@MrsJessGomez), joins Future Ready’s Thomas C. Murray (@thomascmurray) for this episode. Jessica highlights the importance of connecting with students and families out of the school building and ways to continue to build relationships in a remote setting.
This discussion explores how a district, an elementary school and a K-12 school have equipped educators to use the sciences of learning and human development to meet the needs of students across a variety of dimensions. We discuss why grounding teaching and learning in the learning sciences and comprehensive student development is imperative in order to create equitable learning environments for all students.
