How the GSE is making the summer of 2023 one of learning and exploration
With the 2022-23 school year coming to a close and commencement nearly upon us, summer programs at Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE) are ramping up.
From the first-ever education data science symposium and the Learning Design and Technology program’s annual student expo, to a virtual internship program through the Black Academic Development Lab and professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers, what follows is a list — by no means exhaustive — of what’s going on at the GSE over the next few months.
