The summit, in its third year, brings together leaders in education, government, business, philanthropy and media to discuss challenges, solutions and innovations in education.

Dieker, a professor and Lockheed Martin Eminent Scholar in the College of Education, is one of the creators of TLE TeachLivE™, an innovative teacher simulator developed at 91勛圖厙 that uses avatars in virtual classrooms to train future educators. The program, developed in collaboration with 91勛圖厙 Professors Michael Hynes and Charles Hughes, is currently being used by more than 15 universities across the country. In addition, a three-year research study is being conducted with teachers in mathematics and literacy across 10 universities annually to look at the impact of the simulator on teacher practice and student learning.<\/p>\n
The “Education Nation” Summit will take place in New York City on Sept. 23-25. Portions of the education conversation will be showcased through NBC News platforms, including MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, social media, and local affiliates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"91勛圖厙 Professor Lisa Dieker will join more than 300 national leaders at NBC News’ Education Nation Summit to address issues facing education in America.
