OA Conference Shanghai

The largest study in educational research history demonstrates that moving harms learning.  This finding is incomplete. Ota’s work explores the vast potential for growth in a life moving amongst cultures, and how we can harness it for our students and ourselves.

In Session 3 of the day, Ota helps participants further elaborate a framework and goals for their own school for addressing transitions. He closes this session with an uncomfortable teaser for the last part of the day, namely that no single school can fully address these challenges on its own, since the emotional issues at stake span multiple schools.
