Dear WERA Colleagues and friends, WERA shares an opportunity to an online Symposium on Language Education and Multilinguslism, on 3-4 December 2020. If you would like to participate in this event, please see below invitation for more information. Dear colleagues and friends, From 2013-2020 the research cluster Language Education and Multilingualism aimed to increase knowledge about language development and learning under the multilingual conditions of a migration society. Following the United States and Saudi Arabia, Germany is the country with the third highest number of international migrants. An increasing number of young people thus grow up speaking a language other than or alongside German in their families. Moreover, all young people in this globalised society are expected to acquire foreign-language skills in education. So, what are the consequences of multilingualism for development, education, and skills? Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the projects of the cluster have focused on fundamental questions concerning multilingualism as a resource for learning and have tested the effectiveness of their research findings in educational practice. On 3-4 December, we will share the design and research results of the projects You can look forward to presentations on the following topics: (*times and presentations are subject to change; all times are CET) 15:00 – 15:45 |
Dear WERA Colleagues and friends,
On behalf of a WERA association, the American Education Research Association (AERA), we share with you the following invitation to engage in a free community lecture. This lecture will be presented on Thursday 22 October 2020; 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) by Dr. Tate, on the topic: The Segregation Pandemic: Brown as Treatment or Placebo. There will be a discussion that follows, which promises to be timely and very engaging.
The event is being held virtually, and is open to anyone who wishes to join. Please follow the below registration link if you would like to join the 2020 Brown Lecture:

Refer to the below for more details on this lecture.
| About the 2020 LectureA pandemic is an epidemic occurring on a scale that crosses the globe. A condition is not a pandemic merely because it exists in different regions of the world or results in the death of many people; it must also be infectious. In this lecture, Tate will argue that, over the past 500 years by way of mutually reinforcing regimes consisting of politicians, intellectuals, religious supporters, business leaders, and others, an ideology of racial biology “infected” the world, causing a disease to spread in global fashion. The disease fed on a rhetoric that assigned biological superiority to certain races. A pandemic of segregation resulted. In the United States, the Brown decision offered hope as a therapeutic. The lecture examines Brown through the lens of a medical model, while exploring its various pervasive effects on society and education. |

New Eurydice Publication :: Equity in school education in Europe: Structures, policies and student performance
Education can play an important role in making European societies fairer and more inclusive. To accomplish this, education systems must be equitable, ensuring that all young people are able to develop their talents and achieve their full potential. However, socio-economic background continues to be a strong determinant of student attainment. How does the design of education systems affect educational inequalities? The latest Eurydice report investigates this topic and identifies the policies associated with higher levels of equity.
In the years following the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, all kinds of teaching materials and pedagogical advice have been produced to help teachers incorporate Indigenous perspectives in their classrooms. However, without endorsement by provincial curricula, these resources have had limited impact. If education is to support reconciliation and effectively integrate Indigenous learners, it will require reforms that go beyond the production of new teaching materials. Curriculum reform has to drive change.
To better understand the state of science curriculum reform across Canada, we scanned Canadian K–12 science curriculum for references to Indigenous perspectives, and talked with a range of experts involved with science educational renewal.
Curriculum and Reconciliation: Introducing Indigenous Perspectives into K–12 Science briefly and visually outlines the landscape of school science curricula across the country. Several jurisdictions integrate Indigenous content, perspectives, and ways of knowing, while others have yet to include references to Indigenous perspectives.
