UW College of Education Fall Lecture Series

Posted on Tuesday, Oct. 21st 2008 |

Please join the UW College of Education and the UW Alumni Association for a special lecture by Philip Bell, associate professor of learning sciences. He will be speaking on “Pathways to Excellence and Equity in Science, Math and Engineering Education.”

People learn about science and math in a wide range of settings: classrooms, homes, online communities. As such, education needs to be understood as taking place across a wide range of associated institutions: schools, families, after school clubs. Dr. Bell will examine why these institutions should provide youth with a broad set of life opportunities and choices associated with science and math learning.

When: Tuesday, Oct. 28, 7-8:30 p.m. lecture; 8:30-9 p.m. reception
Where: UW Tower (formerly Safeco Tower) Auditorium, Forth Floor
Cost: FREE, but advance registration is requested
