Grant Opportunities: Quantum 10 Equity in Education International Conference 2022

Deadline: 29-Jul-22

The Call For Proposals for the third annual Quantum Ten Equity in Education International Conference is now open.

The purpose of this conference is to expand upon understanding of the Q10 framework, theories, and practices, and move ‘beyond talk’ about equity in education. This conference strives to transform practice by taking an action-oriented approach to intentionally integrate the elements of the Q10 framework. Your presentation should advance learners’/attendees knowledge of the elements of the framework to systematically sustain equity in their learning communities.

The Quantum 10 (Q10) is a fusion of 10 different theories, frameworks and practices that together focus on enhancing educational equity. Each can stand alone, however, when they are integrated, they create a strong synergy that can go far beyond their individual potential and become an empowering, holistic approach to address systemic inequities in education.

The conference will be held in person in the beautiful city of Phoenix, Arizona on December 5-6, 2022. They will offer virtual and asynchronous sessions for our international audience and for those who cannot attend in person.
