What's in Your Wallet: Empowering Learners & Workers

Description:

Digital wallets have arrived in education, but what should we look for to know they'll create greater equity and inclusion? Join us for an immersive workshop designed to explore the principles of co-designing Learning and Employment Records (LERs) for greater equity. Grounded in the latest research from Digital Promise, this session will delve into the collaborative methodologies that center historically and systematically excluded communities. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to understand how LERs can be developed to support diverse learners and workers.
