- Abstract:
- Presenter: Tania Ramalho. Title: Paulo Freire's Centennial: The Impact of Transformative Critical Education. Abstract: Paulo Freire is a Brazilian education philosopher who created a liberation pedagogical synthesis in his most famous text, the Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970). Here he showed the socio-psychological dynamics between oppressor and oppressed. He was clear that the oppressed "housed" the oppressor in their consciousness and was the only group that could change the dynamics, as the oppressor had nothing to gain and could not really grasp the oppressed's reality. "Banking" education, as he called it, the transference of knowledge from teacher to student kept the system in place.
Freire and his American colleagues then developed the field, Critical Pedagogy, also known as transformative education, especially in Canada and Australia. Critical Pedagogy is akin to John Dewey's pedagogical creed in Democracy and Education. It is revolutionary and seeks to transform the identities of students who can read "the word and the world."
This presentation will discuss Freire as an educator and provide one more avenue to celebrate his work and his allies worldwide at the time of the centennial of his birth. ( ,,, )

- Presenter: Karla Campoverde, Chris Crawford, Reagan Doe, Emma Gruelich, Thinh Tran. Title: Interesting Issues in Teaching English Language Learners. Abstract: We are the next cohort of TESOL majors about to begin our Student Teaching Residency in Fall 2022. Our studies thus far have informed us about some interesting issues that come up for English Language Learners (ELLs) as they learn English through content in school. Our students face challenges in all areas of English including reading, writing, speaking and listening. We will share with the campus community our understandings of how to approach- and hopefully solve- these issues through knowledgeable teaching. Please join us!

- Presenter: Evan Waugh. Title: The First Year Teacher: A Perspective from the Field. Abstract: The purpose of this lecture is to provide pre-service teachers with the unique perspective of a first-year English educator and graduate student. The lecture will explore the unique learning needs that students present, as students and educators alike navigate pandemic learning and teaching. The lecture will also touch on the everyday experiences of a classroom teacher, from attending CSE meetings, to communicating with parents and guardians, and building positive collaborative relationships with colleagues across the disciplines. Specific references will be made to undergraduate coursework as a foundation for the success of a first-year teacher, as well as the aspects of the teaching profession that are developed in the classroom. Finally, attention will be given to current trends in education, as well as the backlash that teachers are facing in classrooms across the country due to hot-button issues like the challenging and banning of books in certain states, parents’ fears of the presence of critical race theory in the classroom, and legislation that works to undermine the role of the educator as a classroom practitioner. This talk is intended to be honest, insightful, and ultimately provide a sense of hope for future teachers and the impact that they can have on their students and the field of education.
