On December 9th, Professor William F. Tate IV from Washington University in St. Louis will give a talk at the University of Pittsburgh on engineering quality academic and social opportunities for urban school students in the face of significant structural barriers, including organizational tendencies to treat learning as a discrete set of isolated events. Examples and models will be drawn from mathematics, science, engineering, and technology (METS) research and development.
The talk will be held from 2:30 to 4pm in the School of Education Colloquium Room (5604 Wesley W. Posvar Hall, 230 S. Bouquet Street, Oakland). The event will also be available via live webcast. For instructions for viewing the live webcast, click here.
