The Critical Urban Education (CUE) Speaker Series is a bi-annual event bringing leading national scholars to Montclair State University. Open to all community members, CUE provides a forum to develop attendees' racial and political analysis through a series of lectures and workshops focused on social and cultural issues influencing urban schools and communities.
The summit will kick off with a performance by Newark elementary school students, local youth spoken word poets and DJ Justis. The keynote, The Racialization and Reimagination of Teachers of Color: Resisting Pushout from K-12 Schools, will be delivered by Rita Kohli, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of California-Riverside. Even teaching in predominantly student of Color spaces, teachers of Color are often minoritized professionally. Building on the narratives of justice-oriented teachers of Color, this talk will shed light on racialized struggles of working in a predominantly White profession, the toll it can take on their mental, emotional and physical well being, and how it can lead to pushout from the profession. Kohli will also outline the strategies teachers of Color have used to collectively cope, heal from, and resist racism; thus, reclaiming their deserved place as educators in K-12 schools.
Following a communal lunch, participants will have the opportunity to attend two rounds of workshops lead by urban education scholars. Topics will include: ethnic studies; trauma and healing; supporting teachers of color; social justice STEM, Teaching with Hip hop and spoken word and teaching critical theory. The day will close with an opportunity for reflection, networking and the return of DJ Justis.

Program Description: The purpose of the Center of Pedagogy Leadership Associates Program is to work toward developing a critical mass of leaders from the public schools, from the arts and sciences, and from teacher education who understand and are committed to the goals of simultaneous renewal of schools and to the education of educators.
Leadership Associates will work to deepen their understanding of the moral dimensions of teaching—stewardship, access, nurturing pedagogy, and democracy—and to collaborate with P-12 faculty and administrators and university education and arts/science faculty toward the renewal of schools and the preparation of educators. We will examine our roles in our respective institutions to become more effective agents for change, and propose and undertake an inquiry project to work towards these ends.
The Leadership Associates program will be held from July 9-13, 2018 on the campus of Montclair State University. The agenda will run from 8:30 am until 4:00 pm daily.
The compensation for full participation in the program during the summer and academic year will be $500 per participant. In addition, all educational materials and food (light breakfast and full lunch) will be provided.
Participants will be selected for the program by a screening committee and great efforts will be made to achieve a balance among faculty and administrators from the university and the public schools. Every attempt will be made to achieve as wide a district representation as possible. Administrator/teacher teams are encouraged to apply.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
Individuals selected for this program will:
Be in a position to contribute to the goals of the program as a faculty or administrator affiliated with Montclair State University and the Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal (MSUNER);
Demonstrate a deep belief in the moral imperatives of educating the young for citizenship in a democracy;
Serve in an institutional leadership role, or have the potential for assuming a leadership role in that setting;
Demonstrate their dedication to the vision of simultaneous renewal of the schools and the education of educators;
Recognize the nature and challenges inherent in bringing about institutional change and be willing to become agents for change;
Desire to engage in critical inquiry, to examine the moral dimensions of teaching in a democracy, to reflect upon practice, and to dialogue with colleagues.
