Educational Justice For Testers - Vera Gehlen-Baum

Talk Description

Educational Justice is a topic we mainly talk about for formal education like schools and universities. But educational justice should be discussed for all learning, regardless of the age of the learner, their educational and social background or the topic.

Learning Consultant & CEO

Hi - I am Vera and I am a learning consultant and CEO at QualityMinds. I try to improve the learning process, especially for testers, for a couple of years now.

To get a better understanding of my learners, I worked as a tester, product owner and Scrum Master in different projects.
