Adjusting the Lens: Bringing Teaching and Learning Into Focus During a PandemicNora Wynne, Lecturer, Humboldt School of Education & 2021 California Teacher of the Year What does it mean to teach and learn in a pandemic? What changes can we take with us into the future? As K-12 schools and universities have pivoted to distance learning in the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is a moment to look carefully at how education has and has not changed and how we might harness the moment. Zoom in to examine the details of instruction and opportunities to learn. Zoom out to see the possibilities of larger systemic changes in education. Regardless of the lens, keeping the student in focus will help educators meet the needs of the individual learner and will lead to positive outcomes for students. | Watch Keynote Recording Now! |

Better Labs Through CUREs: Course Based Undergraduate Research ExperiencesJenny Cappuccio, Ph.D., Chemistry Undergraduate research is a high-impact educational practice. However, only a limited number of students are able to access in depth research experiences due to limited faculty time and funding. By incorporating undergraduate research experiences into course design, more students can access this high-impact practice. Here we employed course based undergraduate research (CURE) in the biochemistry I laboratory. We partnered with CSU San Marcos, the Joint Genome Institute and University of California, Davis. Students investigated potential cellulase enzymes for their ability to break down cellulose, in order to develop better biofuel production methods and ultimately reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Students reported a higher sense of personal achievement, and confidence in their ability to contribute to solving a real world problem. |
