Moving Forward: Rebuilding a More Just
and Equitable Educational Future
A virtual convening with hands-on workshops on policies and innovations for education equity
The USC Rossier School of Education and WISE offered a two-day joint event on 17 and 18 November 2020. This online gathering of educators and educational leaders examined global education policy responses to the pandemic and emergent solutions stemming from innovative policy solutions, pedagogy, and use of technology. Insights from global thought leaders focused on equity amidst disruption framed a range of highly interactive workshops fostering dialogue amongst participants.
Under the theme Moving Forward: Rebuilding a More Just and Equitable Educational Future, keynote speeches and workshops thought deeply and creatively about changes that are needed to help education systems emerge from the crisis stronger than before. Current disruptions are exacerbating long standing inequities. This calls for new policies and practices that can increase access and outcomes for all. The current turmoil is also revealing new insights and possibilities about how education might operate differently. This opens the door for bold and innovative ideas about ways to improve the educational experience of every student. The purpose of this event was to assemble a global gathering to think about these ideas together and develop strategies to advance the vision of a more equitable educational future.

The global pandemic has exacerbated deep inequities, including in our systems of education. Achieving sustainable solutions requires us to comprehensively rethink how to support equitable outcomes for all. Taking the necessary steps in creating more equitable policies requires that we figure out our own implicit biases. The goal of this workshop is to engage all participants in thoughtful analysis of understanding how implicit biases show up and influence how we engage in policy development or decision making.
Inclusion in the Emerging Digital Landscape: Incorporating Accessibility Features for People with Disabilities
David Calvo, Principal, Los Angeles Academy of Arts and Enterprise
Sakinah P. Harrison, National Program Officer for Education & Learning and Family Economic Security, W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan

The workshop will then consider strategies and practices that can be extracted from China’s example and that participants can apply to their own transitions to online K-12 education.
Creating Higher Education Policies to Enhance New Employability Skills to Succeed in the Post-COVID World
Shwu-Yuan (Mandy) Lee, CEO, JAPIN Group in Taiwan
Hongdou (Debby) Zhong, Founder, Edmmersion Academy
The eruption of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused many businesses to shut down and many people to lose their jobs. The new constraints of the job market and increased unemployment rates will mean unprecedented competitiveness for graduating college students. This workshop will explore how post-secondary education systems can prepare students to deal with these new realities and enhance the development of new employability skills to help their graduates succeed.

Don’t Waste a Crisis: Using this Policy Window to Make Long-Term Changes in Admissions Evaluation and Testing
Bo (Paul) Shao, Managing Director of EMBA program of Washington University in St. Louis and Fudan University
Shaohui (Steve) Chen, Director of International Relations and Director of Graduate Admissions, School of Business at the University of California, Riverside
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the infrastructure of testing and accelerated exponentially the test-optional movement. Four-year colleges around the world, including the University of California, have announced either temporary or permanent shifts toward test-optional admissions. This creates a unique policy window to expand access for students from racially and economically marginalized backgrounds. This workshop will explore ways to more effectively place equity at the center of admissions processes.

Shaohui (Steve) Chen, Director of International Relations and Director of Graduate Admissions, School of Business at the University of California, Riverside
Bo (Paul) Shao, Managing Director of EMBA program of Washington University in St. Louis and Fudan University
The pandemic adds momentum to the deglobalization trend and limits international student mobility. Traditional international partnerships between universities will need to be rethought and built anew. At the same time, the desire for a foreign education and international exchange opportunities are still strong, from both the perspective of students and institutions involved. This workshop explores new models of international collaboration and partnerships for postsecondary institutions during and post COVID-19.
Promoting Community Driven Innovation
Sakinah P. Harrison, National Program Officer for Education & Learning and Family Economic Security, W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan

This session focuses on innovations around the world that are reimagining education through a lens that is equity-driven, centered on child well-being and community-focused. Participants will examine community driven innovations and identify key strategies that center the well-being of children and communities.
How Young People Can Move Us Forward: Incorporating Student Voice in Education During a Global Crisis
Jed Oppenheim, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Jackson, Mississippi
Chang (Monica) He, Founder and CEO, Duuno Technology Limited
Students are often left out of the decisions that most impact their education. In the context of this global crisis, as education institutions attempt to respond and plan for what happens later, it is more important than ever to include students in the decisions that most impact them. This session will work to design a student-centered approach to help incorporate student voice into pedagogy, curriculum, student well-being and other parts of the educational experience in your institutions.
Crowdsourcing Solutions for Parents Who Have Lost Their Mind Over Distance Learning
Fatma Saoud Al-Jufairi, Programs Manager, Qatar Leadership Center
Ryan Gleason, Director of Education and Leadership, Las Virgenes Unified School District
As a result of the closure of schools due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, a new and stronger relationship between schools and parents is required, and parents have assumed new roles in their children’s instruction and learning. Online learning requirements have created new challenges and responsibilities for parents, calling for innovative ideas, tools, and practices to navigate this unprecedented time. In this session, we will facilitate a collaborative discussion about how the parent-to-school dynamic is being reframed globally and co-construct global innovative practices for both during the pandemic and beyond.
Cultivating Your Entrepreneurial Mindset for Education Reinvention
Victoria Shiroma Wilson, President, Exceptional Futures Inc.
Cervantes Lee, Head of International Capital Markets, China Visionary Group

This session will focus on developing our entrepreneurial mindset and skills that can be learned and scaled as we work through a programmatic reinvention process.
Rethinking Holistic Admissions in Higher Education – New Approaches to Advance Equity During the Pandemic and Beyond
