Over the years, AECON has served as a testament to Rex Education’s commitment of service to the public and the country. And what a joy to have you all as traveling companions,” Buhain said of AECON attendees, who he addressed as Edukampyons, or champions of education. These sessions were co-organized by a number of partner organizations within the sector, and allowed attendees to deepen their experience through topics of their interests. Amy Berry, an International Education Consultant and author of “Reimagining Student Engagement: from Disrupting to Driving”, and her talk on “Pivoting to Quality, Ensuring That All Learners Attain Learning Standards in Every Key Stage in the K to 12 Program.” Berry focused on what she called building blocks that develop the language, partnership, and process of engagement within one’s classrooms. “In looking forward to learning resilience, tatayo tayo, dahil tayo ay Pilipino (we will recover, because we are Filipinos).” “We have to understand that resilience is a weapon to fight for empowering our learners [and] creating positive learning environments, so that we will attain quality and inclusive education,” he said. “This affirmation fuels us to be more eager and willing contributors—a feeling and sentiment we wish to share with all of you.” The plenary sessions kicked off with Dr. Atwell elaborated on different instruments education professionals could use in optimizing classroom success, namely, creative interactive teaching, positive physical school environment, inclusive classrooms, participative shared leadership, supportive school culture, and engagement with family and community.

States and school districts have less than two years to use the rest of the federal pandemic recovery money earmarked for learning loss.

"Schools understand the sense of urgency from a learning gap perspective, but that doesn't mean they are able to implement a program very quickly and that is a challenge," she added. Now the district must try to integrate what's working into the general budget, he said. With the additional resources, the district hired more full-time staff to support students in literacy and math, but Sanchez said he always knew those funds would be short-lived. "The federal government stepped up big, but that will phase out," Baker said. "You can't do this for two or three years and expect things to be all good."

Then, as a group, they reach a solution for Cho — an assembly of wire and glue that will attach the servo engine to the central post, opening and closing the blossoms. “I find that having a creative project like this one, with a goal in mind, is the best way for me to learn. And why not learn that you don’t need to be an artist to make art. “And now I have the chance to study with him,” says Cho, who works at Infinite — MIT’s fashion magazine — and takes classes in both mechanical engineering and design. Here, the technology and the coding don’t need to be perfect. The students here trust each other, and are willing to collaborate.” “That you have the bare-minimum functioning hardware and software that shows your project can be scalable to your vision. The students have already acquired a working knowledge of coding and the Arduino language in the first two class sessions. And other people come to help. Lee distributes various electronic items to the students according to their specific needs — wires, soldering irons, resistors, servo motors, and Arduino components. During the four-week course, students learned to use circuits, wiring, motors, sensors, and displays by developing their own kinetic artworks. For many students, it’s a very effective way to learn.”
