Courageous Educational Leadership: Transforming K-12 Education through an Antiracist Lens

This year's annual American University School of Education Summer Institute on Education Equity and Justice (SIEEJ) was developed to convene local and national educators and education advocates to highlight new practices and strategies for addressing the educational needs of Black, Brown, and indigenous students. K-12 educators, legislators, education advocates, parents, students, school board members, and those at community-based organizations are encouraged to attend this low-cost, high-impact conference. Join us to thoroughly examine the intersection of racism in education, and intentionally center the voices and experiences of people of color. All #SIEEJthemoment sessions will be offered virtually. Register now!

This year's theme is Courageous Educational Leadership: Transforming K-12 Education through an Antiracist Lens. This year’s Dr. Edmund Gordon Lecture, which is given during the SIEEJ, will be delivered by Dr. David O. Stovall, Professor of Black Studies and Criminology, Law & Justice, the University of Illinois at Chicago.
