The Changes we Need: Education post COVID-19
presented by Yong Zhao Foundation Distinguished Professor, School of Education, University of Kansas Professor, Melbourne Graduate School of Education The COVID-19 pandemic has caused both unprecedented disruptions and massive changes to education. However, as schools return, these changes may disappear. Moreover, not all of the changes are necessarily the changes we want in education. The pandemic has created a unique opportunity for educational changes that have been proposed before COVID-19 but were never fully realized. Join this session and learn about three big changes that education should make post COVID: curriculum that is developmental, personalized, and evolving; pedagogy that is student-centered, inquiry-based, authentic, and purposeful; and delivery of instruction that capitalizes on the strengths of both synchronous and asynchronous learning. Yong Zhao is a Foundation Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at the University of Kansas and a professor in Educational Leadership at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education in Australia. He previously served as the Presidential Chair, Associate Dean, and Director of the Institute for Global and Online Education in the College of Education, University of Oregon, where he was also a Professor in the Department of Educational Measurement, Policy, and Leadership. Prior to Oregon, Yong Zhao was University Distinguished Professor at the College of Education, Michigan State University, where he also served as the founding director of the Center for Teaching and Technology, executive director of the Confucius Institute, as well as the US-China Center for Research on Educational Excellence. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Education and a fellow of the International Academy of Education. Dr. Zhao has received numerous awards including the Early Career Award from the American Educational Research Association, Outstanding Public Educator from Horace Mann League of USA, and Distinguished Achievement Award in Professional Development from the Association of Education Publishers. He has been recognized as one of the most influential education scholars. He has published over 100 articles and 30 books, many of which are on our own shelves here in Minnesota. |

The Presence of Armed School Officials During School Shootings in the United States
presented by Jillian Peterson, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Hamline University After deadly school shootings at Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland, many states mandated School Resource Officers or provided funding for districts to hire them. Lawmakers also considered arming teachers. Florida now requires a law enforcement officer or trained school guardian in every school. By examining every recorded incident where one or more people was intentionally shot in a school building during the school day, or where a perpetrator came to school heavily armed with the intent of firing indiscriminately, Dr. Peterson and her colleagues examined the association between the presence of an armed officer on scene and the severity of shootings in K-12 schools. Join this session and learn about this recently published research. Jillian Peterson is an associate professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Hamline University. She has a Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine, and a Bachelors’ degree in Sociology from Grinnell College. Prior to graduate school, Professor Peterson worked as a mitigation specialist in Chicago and New York City, investigating the psychosocial life histories of men facing the death penalty for their sentencing hearings. She has also worked as a research coordinator at the University of Minnesota, as a trial consultant, and as a forensic psychology trainer. Professor Peterson has published multiple articles on offenders with mental illness, risk assessment, psychopathy, and school shootings. Her areas of expertise include forensic psychology, mental illness in the criminal justice system, research methods and statistics, and violent crime. |
