What's Right for Kids? Teachers' Ways of Knowing in a Complex World

Tuesday June 23, 2026 1:00pm - 2:20pm PDT

CC 218 (Wortmann Ballroom)

Drawing on Dr. Sarah Beach’s journey from classroom teacher to education researcher, this keynote session challenges the assumption that there is one “right” way to educate students.
