ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Victor R. Lee is an associate professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Through his research, Lee tries to understand the new opportunities for people of all ages to learn STEM content and practices with the support of emerging digital technologies. Current research examines computational thinking in elementary school, teaching and learning about data in K-12 settings, self-tracking, and learning from quantified self-practices. Lee earned his doctorate in Learning Sciences at Northwestern University where he was supported for several years through a fellowship with the NSF-funded Center for Curriculum Materials in Science. Since leaving the Midwest and beginning his professional academic career, he has received the National Science Foundation CAREER award, the Jan Hawkins Award, and a post-doctoral fellowship from the National Academy of Education and the Spencer Foundation. Victor is president-elect of the International Society of the Learning Sciences.
Sean F. Reardon is the endowed Professor of Poverty and Inequality in Education, Professor (by courtesy) of Sociology, and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research at Stanford University. His research focuses on the causes, patterns, trends, and consequences of social and educational inequality, the effects of educational policy on educational and social inequality, and in applied statistical methods for educational research. Reardon is the developer of the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA). Based on 350 million standardized test scores, SEDA provides measures of educational opportunity, average test score performance, academic achievement gaps, and other information for every public school district in the nation. Professor Reardon received his doctorate in education in 1997 from Harvard University. He is a member of the National Academy of Education and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is also a recipient of the William T. Grant Foundation Scholar Award, the National Academy of Education Postdoctoral Fellowship, and is an Andrew Carnegie Fellow.
Daniel L. Schwartz is the I. James Quillen Dean and Nomellini & Olivier Professor of Educational Technology at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. An expert in human learning and educational technology, Schwartz oversees a laboratory whose computer-focused developments in science and math instruction permit original research into fundamental questions of learning. Schwartz studies student understanding and representation and the ways that technology can facilitate learning. His book, The ABCs of How We Learn: 26 Scientifically Proven Approaches, How They Work and When to Use Them, distills learning theories into practical solutions for use at home or in the classroom. NPR noted the book among the "best reads" for 2016.
