The 2016 Symposium will examine how the teacher-student relationship should be framed in cultural awareness. At a time when many urban educators are teaching students with cultural backgrounds and experiences that vary from their own, dialogue on educating to the student’s life narrative is key. This symposium will discuss ways to challenge the current pedagogy of engaging students in an urban area, redefining what an urban education can look like.
Keynote speaker, Christopher Emdin, Ph.D., whose work has been featured on ABC, CNN, and PBS, is rocking the pedagogical rhetoric around this topic. Dr. Emdin will join our vibrant, diverse panel who will complement and challenge these emerging, controversial ideas of how to culturally engage students in the classroom.
