SUMMARY:Presentation:Innovation Insights: A Research Talk with William Bork
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Academic Innovation invites you to an exciting Innovation Insights Research Talk featuring William Bork\, researcher and former K-12 educator in the United States\, Taiwan\, and Mexico. \n\nLarge-scale studies investigating the academic outcomes of immigrant learners\, like the PISA assessment\, can tell us a lot about certain experiences but often only focus on data related to students’ destination countries. In this talk\, Bork details that while destination country data is useful\, incorporating more origin country characteristics could provide a more complete picture of the immigrant student experience and explain variations in academic achievement.\n\nA Zoom link will be provided upon registration. We hope to see you there!\n\n*Innovation Insights*\n\nThe Center for Academic Innovation brings together people who want to transform education\, share knowledge\, and increase learner success by hosting inspiring talks\, collaborative problem-solving workshops\, and discussions on the latest in educational research and practice.
