Pursuing Educational Justice Public Lecture: Dr. Jeff Duncan-Andrade
February 2, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EST
Join in the kickoff event of the Pursuing Educational Justice Series, presented by Equity Outreach Initiatives and the Urban Educator Speaker Series!
Equality or Equity: Which One Will We Feed?
Duncan-Andrade has taught and researched effective teaching practices in schools around the world to provide insights to educators and school leaders into effective systems change, program building and daily educational practices.
This discussion equips leaders and educators to leverage research-based critiques of up-by-your-bootstraps theories of individualized success being pedaled to schools. In their place, it offers concrete, time-honored, research-based strategies that foreground relationships, relevance, and responsibility as essential ingredients to fundamentally altering the business-as-usual approach that continues to fail so many of our young people.
Interested in hearing more? Join Equity Outreach Initiatives Saturday, 2/3 for a special workshop and professional development opportunity with Dr. Jeff Duncan-Andrade!
Free and open to the public with thanks to the College of Education, the Urban Education Speaker Series, University Outreach and Engagement, and the Office of K-12 Outreach.
