Where Might the 2016 Election Year Take Us? Exploring the Implications of Political Framing for Future Education Legislation

12:00 to 1:30 p.m., Convention Center, Level Two, Room 201

Link to Session

Despite all of the attention to politics in 2016, education has received relatively little attention. With the passage of the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), state governments will have increased flexibility to implement policies that promote educational innovation and progress. In this session Pedro Noguera (New York University), John Jackson (Schott Foundation), and Judith Browne Dianis (The Advancement Project) will engage in a lively discussion of the constraints and opportunities created by ESSA. They will also consider how the presidential candidates of both parties should be challenged to address education and the huge challenges created by increasing racial and class-based inequality.will consider the contribution critical race theory (CRT) has made to educational scholarship and examine the progress made in terms of the field’s understanding of racial inequity in education since CRT was first introduced to the field.

12:00 to 1:30 p.m., Convention Center, Level Three, Ballroom C

Participants include Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco (University of California – Los Angeles), Dafney Blanca Dabach (University of Washington – Seattle), Rania Al-Nakib (Gulf University for Science and Technology), Yun-Kyung Cha (Hanyang University), Audrey Helen Osler (University College of South East Norway), Angela M.
