Education is student-centric. In the conventional education system, schools and universities have set up organizations, policies, and systems to provide students with the things that they need.

COVID changed the educational landscape. Today, a larger number of schools in the country are considering online education, a move that raises questions on topics of learning, creating meaningful relationships with students, and the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on education.

In this episode of the Stemify podcast, we are privileged to have Dr. Milagros Montoya-Castillo. Milagros shares her thoughts on challenges students will be facing once they go back to school. She discusses facilitating active learning, fostering authentic and meaningful relationships with students, ensuring that the school provides a solid support system for the online students, and more. She also talks about continuous professional development for faculty, the need for a holistic view on education, and showing care for students through practices, policies, and structures.

This interview is packed with insights, so tune in and listen to my exciting conversation with Dr. Milagros Montoya-Castillo!
