This year, the Donna Ford Attallah Educator Development Academy and the Paulo Freire Democratic Project are co-sponsoring a summit drawing together diverse topics and interests in education. This event will include two notable keynote speakers, Dr. Airini and Dr. Christine Sleeter.  Three simultaneous learning strands will take place at the Summit. The first strand, entitled "Teacher and Community Development" will explore topics of special education in workshop formats. The second strand entitled “Critical Pedagogy: Relational and Responsive Inclusion” will include dialogical spaces and presentations concerning critical issues in education. The final strand “Ecologies of Knowing” will be a space for PhD students from Chapman and our local universities to present their own work.
