Borderlands: Constructing Educational Possibilities Across P–20 Systems: A Structured Conversation Between Educational Leadership and Teacher Education

Fri, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Any examination of the pervasive issues impacting our collective ability to ensure that young people in schools achieve their highest potential suggests the need for elevated, justice-focused dialogue about problems of practice within and across the fields of educator and leadership preparation. A key problem of practice within both fields is that efforts to enable the consistent application of academic knowledge to practice are siloed thereby making it difficult to support equitable and justice-focused practice within and across both fields. Elevating the conversation about equity and justice in educational leadership and teacher education, this symposium engages educational leadership and teacher education scholars in a cross-cutting structured conversation designed to enable a collectivist, community-centered, and coalition-building praxis.
