Join us on February 7 & 8, 2025 for the second annual Leading Towards Justice Symposium. Building upon last year’s gathering, the Symposium is an opportunity to (re)energize and remind ourselves as educators, educational and community leaders that how we teach and lead is consequential, especially in ways that are responsive to our current climate and conditions. From sociopolitical turmoil and global violence to budget deficits and school closures, we recognize that educators and leaders everywhere are facing enormous challenges. This is precisely why our teaching and leadership matters in cultivating joyful learning environments rooted in the brilliance of Black, Indigenous, Latiné, Asian American and Pacific Islander youth.
This year, the UW Just Ed Leadership Institute, the Leadership for Learning (L4L) Program, the Danforth Program, and Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy (EdFLP) are excited to partner with our Teacher Education Programs in thinking about expansive forms of educator leadership.
Submit a Workshop Proposal
This year’s Symposium invites workshop presenters to share practices that can evolve our collective leadership towards justice-seeking in education. The Call for Workshop Proposals is now open! We have extended our submission deadline to Sunday, December 1 at 11:59pm PST.
