Access and Persistent Inequities for Marginalized Students

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Panelists with expertise in the fields of educational policy, leadership studies, and critical teacher education will consider how political processes and officials, school organization, and the preparation of teachers have contributed to longstanding educational inequities. Bearing witness to these complex, and often unjust conditions, participants not only name challenges, but reimagine what it would mean to own up to, rather than abdicate responsibility for more equitable and just schooling. Panelists will thoughtfully, critically, and creatively respond to the questions: (1) What is the problem? (2) What is needed to intervene on the problem? (3) How would taking up this work look in practice? (4) What is needed to make this work happen in a just and equitable way?
