FYI, Betty From: Academy for Educational Studies <AcademyEdStudies@MissouriState.edu<mailto:AcademyEdStudies@MissouriState.edu>> Date: Monday, November 3, 2014 2:30 PM Cc: "Jones, Steven P" <SPJones@MissouriState.edu<mailto:SPJones@MissouriState.edu>> Subject: Correction: Education conference deadline NOVEMBER 15, 2014 Greetings, I send this message to invite you (and your graduate students) to present at the Critical Questions in Education conference-a national, peer-reviewed education conference taking place in San Diego, California. The 10th annual CQIE conference will be held on February 16 - 18, 2015 at the beautiful U.S. Grant Hotel. The official deadline for proposals is November 15, 2014. Every year the Critical Questions in Education conference focuses on one or two "critical questions" facing pre-K-12 (or pre-K-16) education. Our theme questions for the February conference are: 1. Why have civil rights era educational legislation and policy in the United States failed our most vulnerable students? How should we address the needs of these students in and out of schools? 2. How is schooling conducted in other countries? What can we learn from the policies, purposes, and practices of education systems-or individual schools-from around the world? And what can systems and schools from around the world learn from American education? We also welcome proposals on one of our past theme questions. Please see the Call for Proposals, attached, for a full list of topics. Gary Orfield, Professor of Education at UCLA and co-Director of the Civil Rights Project, will offer an Academy Talk at the conference on the first question; Francisco Ramirez, Professor of Comparative Education at Stanford University, will offer an Academy Talk on the second question. In addition, we are inviting everyone to get a "Seat at the Table" on the third day when we will be planning essays and books on the theme questions. We hope you will submit a proposal and come join us in San Diego. If you have any questions about the conference or the Academy for Educational Studies, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Steven P. Jones, Director Academy for Educational Studies AcademyEdStudies@missouristate.edu<mailto:AcademyEdStudies@missouristate.edu> 417-836-5982
