亚历山大·西多尔金，教育学院院长。博彩平台将举办为期一周的活动，庆祝那些为加州学校做出积极改变的教育者、合作伙伴和创新者。
The week, called “CelebratEd,” will take place on campus from Sept. 25-29. The week will include a lecture by Linda Darling-Hammond, a longtime teacher and former advisor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign whose research and policy work focuses on issues of educational equity, teaching quality, and school reform; and the finals of 改造 competition, an event organized by the College of 教育 encouraging the use of innovation and technology in the classroom.
The aim, says College of 教育 Dean Alexander Sidorkin, is to promote the importance of education in providing the human capital that fuels economic growth, as well as highlighting 萨克拉门托州’s role as the institution that “teaches the teachers” who are enacting change and innovation the classroom.
“If you want to get serious about long-term economic planning in the region, you have to get serious about education. You can’t attract people to the region if you don’t have quality schools,” he said. “People don’t realize how essential education is to the modern economy.”
每一天的庆祝活动都围绕着一个主题。 Monday is a “Celebration of Scholarship,” including an afternoon research colloquium, while Tuesday is a “Celebration of Leadership and Policy,” featuring the Darling-Hammond lecture. On Wednesday, the “Celebration of 教育 Professions” will include a dean’s lunch with students and a program about the University’s credential and graduate programs. The 改造 competition, featuring multiple teams who will present their ideas for using technology or innovation in the classroom to a panel of judges, is the highlight of Thursday’s “Celebration of Innovation in 教育.” Friday is a “Celebration of Partnerships,” during which the week will conclude with the annual Better Together Partnerships Reception.
西多金说，将教育工作者聚集在一起进行交流和学习变得更加重要，因为联邦政府似乎不太重视教育改革，而让州和地方的努力变得更加重要。
“The era of large, top-down educational reforms appears to be over, so it’s time for local and regional communities to take the lead,” he said. “At 萨克拉门托州, we are preparing the teachers and educators of tomorrow, so we are well-positioned to take a key role in efforts to transform education to fit the modern world.”
