Sharing on behalf of Professor Nicole Panorkou, PhD

EdReports, is a national non-profit organization that works to ensure all students have access to high-quality instructional materials. We do this through a two-pronged approach: (1) providing technical support to states and districts in the adoption of instructional materials and (2) hosting a clearinghouse of educator-reviewed curricula on our website in math, ELA, and science.

Currently EdReports has received a grant from the Overdeck Family Foundation to support New Jersey districts in identifying quality, aligned instructional materials in K-8 math. Through the grant funding, EdReports will be able to provide direct technical support to NJ districts on K-8 math instructional materials adoptions through a series of workshops designed with the district. Through this grant we are looking to support districts that are undergoing an adoption process in the next year.

Do you know of any districts that would be interested in working with EdReports on their adoption, or anyone in New Jersey that we should connect with? If so, please email Teresa Eliopoulos at TEliopoulos@edreports.org

Making it Through This Year - Greg Festa Presentation

At a time of planetarian stasis, it may seem odd to talk about transnationalism; and, yet, more than ever, we have become aware of the interconnections existing around the world. What insights can a transnational model offer us to critically rethink cultural and socio-economic relationships while keeping in mind older forms of border crossing (colonialism, imperialism, historical diasporas) and also the contemporary circulation of people, goods and ideas (mass migrations, global markets, social media networks)?
