Welcome to the Humanists of Greater Portland

From FH. In the past decade, Education Technology (EdTech) has been replacing traditional teacher-led, hands-on learning in classrooms. Jody Scheer MD will present the current state of K-12 education, risks and harms to kids of Ed Tech, the startling decline in academic outcomes over the past decade, and how we might reorient K-12 education for healthier outcomes for our children. Dr. Scheer, retired after nearly 40 years in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, is a co-founder of Oregon Unplugged, a non-profit organization that educates and empowers families, legislators and school boards to protect children by developing safe technology policies. (First Sundays start with 1/2 hour of music, offer childcare, and may run until noon.)
