Access, fairness, responsiveness, justice, equity. How would our education system be different if we ensured these values were embedded in all curriculum, instruction and learning environments? If each of us committed to equity in education, how would we influence holistic student success?

Please join us for TEDxABQEducation 2016 at the African American Performing Arts Center on Friday March 25th as we consider how we honor the rich multicultural assets of New Mexico and our families to provide greater Equity in Education.

Tickets will be available at TEDxABQ.com on February 15th.

A former local business owner, Steven Lamb is a TIG/APS Education Foundation Innovation Award winner. It is through their love of teaching and their desire to help students and teachers leverage technology to improve communication, that brought the pair and their students together. Rachel and Steven used readily available technology to allow their students to share interests and work together on projects from different school locations and grade levels. The result of their efforts was the creation of cross-district collaboration and a learning environment that is rewarding and beneficial to students and teachers.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_tab_nav type=”two-up” float=”top”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Steven Lamb” active=”true”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Bio” active=”false”][/x_tab_nav][x_tabs][x_tab active=”true”][/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”]Steven is an award winning elementary educator who believes in making ludicrous brainstorming ideas into positive learning experiences. Along with Rachel Thomas, he passionately explores Virtual Team Teaching, a method in which two geographically separated teachers digitally collaborate to engage their students in continuous shared learning experiences and lessons. One driving reason to connect the students to peers across the city is to let them share and learn from each other. Getting students to consider what they know from their own sphere of influence, and asking each other questions about it, is the best way Rachel and Steven know how to guide teaching and learning.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_tab_nav type=”two-up” float=”top”][x_tab_nav_item title=”André Gonzales” active=”true”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Bio” active=”false”][/x_tab_nav][x_tabs][x_tab active=”true”][/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”]André is a high school senior from Las Cruces, NM.

As the Chairman of the Las Cruces Public Schools Student Advisory Council, André’s commitment to developing and expanding sustainable partnerships between local public education officials and youth continues to guide his passion for youth advocacy and public service. André’s unique experiences allow him to discuss student empowerment within New Mexico’s public education system and explore challenges and opportunities of including student perspectives among the numerous community, regional, and national stakeholders.

She believes the way in which mathematics is currently taught, K-20, results in the alienation of many students from the subject. She will suggest a radical redesign in how to teach and organize the mathematics curriculum.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_tab_nav type=”two-up” float=”top”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Amanda Champany” active=”true”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Bio” active=”false”][/x_tab_nav][x_tabs][x_tab active=”true”][/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”]Amanda Champany has lived in the border towns of Northern New Mexico, the Bay Area, Denver, England and South Korea and has enjoyed experiencing the traditions of each location. She believes that that there is a place for traditional knowledge in gifted education. The current western, middle class ideal of intelligence, emphasizing linguistic abilities, limits the diversity within gifted programs. This limits society’s ability to access and enhance culturally specify intelligence, which bring about creative solutions to future problems. By building an ideal gifted classroom, we can begin to build ideal schools that honor the contributions of all students.

Why not start everyday with #science?”
