Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听Standardized Testing and the Racial Implications of Data Use
DESCRIPTION:听Testing has become an institution which affects the lives of Americans in a profound way. Early in听their educational careers, children are sorted and categorized on the basis of standardized tests. As they advance toward graduation from high school, the tests become more and more life-determining. Decisions about higher education are reached with test scores as a major factor. Decisions about graduate and professional schools are based partly on test results. Tests are used to guide employment decisions and to determine professional advancement in certain careers. Testing is pervasive and powerful in its influence on modern life. Testing is also difficult to check and control even when its influence appears to be unfair and/or counter-productive to the welfare of those being tested. This session will further examine the use of standardized testing and the racial implications of data use.听

Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听Racism and School Discipline: Schools听as听a Prison
DESCRIPTION:听The school-to-prison pipeline is a relatively recent phenomenon identified by researchers as a link between negative school outcomes, such as discipline, and involvement in the justice system. Further research is needed to understand and explain the relationship between school and penal policies, educational outcomes and involvement with the criminal justice system. Irrespective of whether the link is causal, the disparities that exist and increasing numbers of those impacted by exclusionary discipline coupled with negative educational outcomes听suggest a new approach should be explored. This session will explore racism as it relates to school discipline and听provide recommendations for future practice and research.听

Higher Education Doctoral Students' Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听Anti-Racist K-12 School Leadership: Equity in Education for All Students
DESCRIPTION:听This session explores the role of school leaders in effecting equity in schools and promoting the success of racialized students. While ongoing research identifies a positive correlation between educators鈥� understanding of racial issues and their effective engagement in promoting equitable practices within their schools, teachers and administrators are seldom prepared to work effectively with students, families, and communities from different ethno-racial backgrounds. Panelists will share fundamental concepts school leaders should know, as well as approaches and strategies they can adopt, in order to move towards achieving equity for racialized populations. Equipped with relevant knowledge, approaches, and strategies, school leaders will be better able to address inequitable practices, while proactively supporting socially just practices that ensure success for all students.

Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听Dismantling Systemic Racism on Higher Education Campuses
DESCRIPTION:听This panel will discuss the ways in which systemic racism shapes higher education systems and experiences within them, including how racism has influenced the development and execution of some of the most influential policies in higher education history. This session will analyze high profile contemporary policy issues in higher education from a race-conscious lens. In doing so, the goal is to highlight how racism and color-blind ideologies are shaping current policy discourse in postsecondary education. Lastly, the panel will examine how racism shapes the experiences of faculty within institutions of higher education.听

PANELISTS:听Dr. Tiffany Hollis,听Coastal Carolina University;听Dr. DeMarcus Jenkins,听Pennsylvania State University;听Dr. Ashley Gray,听Temple University;听Damaris Dunn, University of Georgia

3:15 to听4:45 p.m.听
Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听From the Top-Down: Anti-Racism from an Educational Policy Perspective
DESCRIPTION:听Educating and training teachers and administrators on how to enact culturally relevant and inclusive practices is one step towards eliminating racism in schools. Expressing a commitment to anti-racism through school policies, statements, guidelines, or codes takes these efforts a step further. Within the last decade, some schools and districts have penned their own anti-racist policies to detail the steps they are taking to disrupt racism within their locale. In this session, panelists will highlight K-12 school policies and highlight recent initiatives aimed at eliminating racism in schools. As school and district leaders advance their own anti-racist policies and objectives, this panel will provide guidance based on the practices of diverse districts in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Conference Overview
Introduction of SIEEJ Conference Planning Committee

1:00 鈥� 2:15 p.m.
Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听R.A.C.E Mentoring Through Social Media: We All We Got
DESCRIPTION:听The Ivory Tower is and can often be a lonely place for faculty of color. Social injustices run deep and are entrenched within academia. Faculty of color (FOC), more specifically Black and Hispanic, often lament about the 鈥楤lack/Brown鈥� tax that frequently takes its toll both personally and professionally, and pushes them out of the academy. Similar to trends in P鈥�12 settings, educators of color in postsecondary contexts represent less than 10% of the profession. In essence, educators of color are an anomaly and the implications of this are clear and dire, as evidenced by persistent achievement, access, and expectation gaps within the academy. Moreover, many scholars of color receive inadequate mentoring, often substandard in comparison to the hand鈥恏olding White students receive. This panel will broadly discuss the importance of mentorship for K-12 school leaders, teachers, and higher education faculty.

2:45 to听3:45 p.m.听
Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听A School of Education Deans Panel: Developing a Generation of Anti-Racist Education Leaders
DESCRIPTION:听Racial inequities in education persist in part because the solutions that districts and schools choose to employ largely ignore why and how institutional and structural racism is the root cause of inequities in education. Yet, racial inequities in schooling can be redressed if districts and schools have leaders who are deeply committed to combating racism in their daily practice and structures of schooling. This panel of university deans will underscore why we need more educational leaders who adopt an anti-racist stance in how they lead and are prepared to work toward racial justice and equity in a society so entrenched in racism. Through diverse perspectives and voices, this session will address issues related to anti-racist educational leadership at various levels.听

Panel Discussion
TOPIC:听A K-12 School Principals' Panel: Leading with Equity in Mind Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:听The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a historic shutdown of US schools for nearly two years. In some cases, students are still receiving instruction virtually. With a surge in new variants, the pandemic is now likely to keep many students out of the classroom until well into 2023. School principals know firsthand the high cost of this prolonged period of remote learning, from rising rates of depression and anxiety to the loss of student learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an especially heavy toll on Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous communities. Along with robbing them of lives and livelihoods, in-person school shutdowns could deny students from these communities the opportunity to get the education they need to build a brighter future. The panel of school principals will discuss ways they lead schools with equity in mind amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.听

A Search for Common Ground: Conversations About the Toughest Questions in K鈥�12 Education -听听&听
At a time of bitter national polarization, there is a critical need for leaders who can help us better communicate with one another. In听A Search for Common Ground, Rick Hess and Pedro Noguera, who have often fallen on opposing sides of the ideological aisle over the past couple of decades, candidly talk through their differences on some of the toughest issues in K鈥�12 education today鈥攆rom school choice to testing to diversity to privatization. They offer a sharp, honest debate that digs deep into their disagreements, enabling them to find a surprising amount of common ground along the way.

It is also a powerful meditation on where 21st-century school improvement can and should go next.

Advancing Equity and Diversity in Student Affairs: A Festschrift in Honor of Melvin C. Terrell (Contemporary Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Achievement)听-听,听, &听听(Editors)听
This Festschrift has a dual purpose: (a) highlight how student affairs has grown as a field of practice in response to the growth of student diversity on college campuses, and (b) honor the remarkable career of Melvin C. Terrell. As one of the unique contributions to higher education attributed to the United States, the practice of student affairs has played a significant role in supporting students as access to college has broadened. In turn, key principles of practice had to evolve to appropriately take into consideration diverse student development theory and needs. The span of Melvin C. Terrell鈥檚 legendary accomplishments neatly aligned with the professional evolution of student affairs. Each of the chapters in this Festschrift artfully straddle the dual purpose of this volume. Researchers, practitioners, and key decision makers will equally be empowered to employ the lessons and approaches informed by the evolution of student affairs over the past 30 years.

Presents cutting edge and thought provoking chapters on the evolution of student affairs practice shaped by the diversification of the student body and practitioners.

Contributions from some of the best minds and practitioners in the field
Includes curated chapters that capture advancements in student affairs practice informed by equity and diversity, while honoring the unique contribution of Melvin C. Terrell to the field.

Practical appendixes include a professional development tool for critical self-reflection and an antiracist syllabus review protocol.听

Black College Leadership in PK鈥�12 Education - 听(Editor)
Educational equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice are widely considered to be the most important civil rights challenge of the 21st century. Many HBCUs began in the 1800s as institutions to prepare Black teachers to teach in segregated America. Although their focus has expanded since their critical beginnings, HBCUs remain significant producers of African American teachers. Today, as the United States grapples with educational disparities, lack of diversity among education professionals, systemic racism, and the recent politically-inspired assaults on Critical Race Theory, we need HBCU leadership in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education more than ever.听Black College Leadership in PK鈥�12 Education听amplifies the research and perspectives of HBCU leaders, including four HBCU education deans, on how HBCUs help school districts optimize education for Black preschool, elementary and secondary students. Specific topics include HBCU teacher preparation, building HBCU and PK鈥�12 partnerships, culturally responsive teaching, inclusive assessment practices, and HBCU leadership in STEM education. This book is ideal for school teachers and administrators who want to use HBCUs as a resource to improve education, as well as HBCU leaders who want to work more effectively with local school districts.

Handbook of Critical Race Theory in Education -听听&听
This handbook illustrates how education scholars employ Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework to bring attention to issues of race and racism in education. It is the first authoritative reference work to provide a truly comprehensive description and analysis of the topic, from the defining conceptual principles of CRT in Law that gave shape to its radical underpinnings to the political and social implications of the field today. It is divided into six sections, covering innovations in educational research, policy and practice in both schools and in higher education, and the increasing interdisciplinary nature of critical race research. New chapters broaden the scope of theoretical lenses to include LatCrit, AsianCrit and Critical Race Feminism, as well as coverage of Discrit Studies, Research Methods, and other recent updates to the field. This handbook remains the definitive statement on the state of critical race theory in education and on its possibilities for the future.

Teacher Educators as Critical Storytellers -听,听,听, &听听(Editors)
Breaking away from the historically dominant narrative that White females make the best teachers, this book contends that effective teachers can be both 鈥渨indows鈥� and 鈥渕irrors鈥� for students. Teachers should reflect the student population in racial and cultural terms while also serving as windows for students to see opportunities that lie outside of their immediate circumstances. Employing a critical storytelling framework, respected scholars share the teaching practices of influential teachers that they learned from. Chapter authors are diverse teacher educators from the fields of education, educational psychology, administration, policy, and curriculum and instruction. Each storyteller identifies key concepts and principles that explain why the selected teacher was so memorably effective. This inspirational volume provides a series of templates that help pinpoint the attitudes and behaviors of those teachers who make a positive difference in the lives of their students.

The Impact of Classroom Practices: Teacher Educators' Reflections on Culturally Relevant Teachers -听,听,听听听
Debates regarding the qualities, skills, and dispositions of culturally relevant teachers and teaching have raged in teacher education for several decades. Ladson-Billings鈥� (2009) The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children was a groundbreaking work that has become a foundational study that informs the work of culturally-relevant (Ladson-Billings, 2009) and culturally-sustaining (Paris & Alim, 2017) teaching. In her book The Dreamkeepers she describes effective teachers who are able to draw from the cultural wealth, knowledges, and heritage of Black communities. The Dreamkeepers ensured that their Black students were academically successful, retained, and grew both in terms of their cultural competence and their sociopolitical awareness. In other words, according to research by Ladson-Billings (2009), effective teachers possessed both pedagogical and relational dispositions, which leave lifelong impacts on the academic and social lives of the students they teach. While being a foundational text, what remains missing from the research on culturally-relevant and even culturally-sustaining teachers are 鈥渘arratives鈥� (read: stories, testimonios, etc.) related to how the race of particular E鈥�12 teachers positively impact the lives of their students.

For instance, Dr. Antonio Ellis (the first editor of the proposed book) describes his high school music teacher Mr. Linard McCloud) as 鈥渁 highly effective African American music educator who changed the course of his life鈥� (p. 170). Ellis (2016) describes McCloud as being loving, caring, creative, culturally sensitive, attuned, hopeful, flexible, organized, and thoughtful. Because Mr. McCloud possessed the aforementioned characteristics and dispositions, Ellis contends that he was motivated to achieve academically and socially in his urban high school. In addition, according to Ellis (2016), Mr. McCloud was a highly impactful educator because he went beyond the call of duty as a teacher鈥攁 practice that is not so common in schools, particularly urban ones. Not only did McCloud teach in the classroom setting, but he also built strong relationships with families, community members, and external stakeholders including local businesses, colleges, and universities. Mr. McCloud used these networks to leverage opportunities for his students academically, personally, and professionally. Like many of his high school classmates, Ellis (2016) contends that he would not have graduated from high school if it were not for the care and mentorship he received from Mr. McCloud. In this proposed edited volume, it is the editors鈥� goal to honor teachers like Mr. McCloud who have made a difference in the lives of their students by learning from their impactful practices.

Employing a 鈥渃ritical storytelling鈥� methodology (see Hartlep & Hensley, 2015; Hartlep, Hensley, Braniger, & Jennings, 2017), each chapter contributor will use his or her own narrative to show the power of influential teachers in classrooms. While this framework centers race, lived and learned experiences, the storyteller is the most important unit of narrative; hence, The Impact of Classroom Practices: Reflections on Culturally Relevant Teachers will include African-American storytellers who reflect on the impact of classroom practices of teachers from diverse backgrounds who they deemed culturally relevant and responsive to both their academic and social needs. This work will offer recommendations to pre-service teachers and in-service teachers who desire to leave a lasting impact on the students they teach.
