Study Group Page

In order to provide an opportunity for seminar attendees to continue to reflect on and act on the insights and knowledge gleaned from the seminar series, several of the sponsoring organizations have developed study groups. We would like to encourage other institutions and community groups to organize their own study groups.

The Center for Innovation in Urban Education at Northeastern University is offering study groups for educators who want to apply the content of the seminar series to teaching in particular subject areas. The groups include:
(1) literacy learning and development;
(2) mathematics and science education;
(3) humanities and social sciences.
To sign up for study groups, contact Prof. Peter C. Murrell, Jr. at Northeastern University, Center for Innovation in Urban Education.
