At Teachers College of San Joaquin, we believe in the power of innovative ideas to challenge current thinking, foster meaningful relationships, inspire deep reflection, and transform daily practice. Join us for a 2-hour session to experience how EduTalks can revolutionize your educational setting. Register today! Event Details Presenter: Marguerite (Margie) Bulkin Talk: "How Did the 'Island in the Mainstream' Get So Big?" The current educational climate suggests we haven't figured out how to make the landmark decision of Brown v Board of Education a reality for students with special needs. Explore the dilemma of segregation and 'separate but not equal' from the special education lens, and a 'history' that suggests a class action lawsuit is waiting to happen. Participants will ponder how to disrupt the status quo as leaders in our educational communities. Presenter: Ron Boren Talk: “You Can't Have Rigor, Relevance, or Reflection Without the Foundational Pillar of Relationships!” Relevance, Rigor, and Reflection are all crucial components in today’s educational setting and are the pillars of TCSJ's core values. However, “Kids don’t care what you know until they know you CARE!” The foundational connection of building Relationships is crucial. See how Ron uses music throughout his instructional day to build capacity with content while making connections that are lifelong with his students.
