Greetings from campus! With January behind us, we are looking forward to
brighter days with the promise of California sun. We have had heavy rains and
hope that this will bring a bounty of spring flowers in the coming months.
We invite you to explore the latest developments in the GSE building
construction. Should you find yourself on campus, consider taking a moment to
witness the progress firsthand. Delve into a Tiny Lecture offering insights
into the origins and evolution of Black History Month. Professor Sean
Reardon's work on the uneven learning experiences during the pandemic is also
featured in this issue. Discover the positive impact of short burst tutoring
on student reading outcomes, and read about a global gathering of educators at
Stanford discussing inclusive education. Explore how technology is reshaping
education in an article that highlights its opportunities and pitfalls. Beyond
GSE, Stanford's Town Center is undergoing a transformation. Learn about how
you can contribute to the redesign process.
Recognize outstanding individuals in education by nominating a GSE alum
for the Alumni Excellence in Education Award. Additionally, if you haven't
registered for this year's AERA Stanford reception, we encourage you to do so.
We look forward to connecting with you in Philadelphia!
Once again, we are grateful to have so much to look forward to together.
Thank you for staying engaged and being a vital part of our alumni community.
From the Farm, I send good wishes to you in your corner of the world.
Warmly,

GSE construction: Looking forward
As the structure of the South building rises, the North building is
undergoing a transformation with community, light, and functional spaces as
the focus of a modern facility with strong ties to the past.
Multiple brief sessions with a well-supported tutor in the classroom have the
potential to make significant positive impact on the reading skills of young
students.
Professors Elizabeth Kozleski and Alfredo Artiles recently hosted an event
at Stanford that brought teams from the global south to share knowledge on
inclusive education.
Stanford is reimagining the center of campus to create a revitalized Town
Center for the community. Learn more about the Town Center Project and how
you can participate in the process of its redesign.
