Unforgetting Deficit Depictions: Disrupting Education Systems of Injustice to Unlock the Hidden Geniuses

Sun, April 12, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 406AB

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

In this presidential session, the authors give attention to students who are among the most overlooked, over-survilled, persistently punished, consistently reviled and misunderstood in schools. The hidden geniuses are what we refer to them in this presidential session. The students that are often labeled as undesirable, and unworthy of love, affirmation and teaching in schools. We not only place a spotlight on some of these hidden geniuses, but we lift up the pedagogies, practices, principles, and policies that are essential to creating the schools that best serve and support them. Moreover, we discuss how schools and classrooms can be transformed into the types of learning communities that recognize their genius.
