GAITHERSBURG, MD / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2021 / Dr. Shawn Joseph has accepted an invitation to serve as the keynote speaker in an upcoming webinar regarding the challenges presented by educating marginalized and vulnerable students in 2021, and the effects of the so-called ‘COVID slide.’ Dr. Joseph will explore positive solutions for closing learning gaps, moving unfinished learning forward, empowering students and teachers in the current climate, and will address the critical subjects of equity and social justice in education, as well. The webinar and subsequent virtual roundtable, which are both presented by the New Jersey-based educational tech company Achieve 3000, are set to take place on June 10, 2021, beginning at 10 AM ET.

In anticipation of his keynote address at the webinar, Dr. Shawn Joseph has issued a brief statement on the state of education in Maryland, saying, ‘As we move into the upcoming school year, school districts must work with deliberate urgency and care to support students academically and emotionally. Now more than ever, true partnerships between parents, students, and schools are needed.’
