The call for proposals has been attached for your review.
UNI’s Education Summit titled, Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Practice: Challenging Systemic Inequity and Injustice in Education and Health is designed for education and health care providers or educators; K-12 teachers, parents, and students; community members; education leaders; university faculty, staff and students; faith leaders or organizations, and policymakers. The Education Summit will explore research, practices, and policies that underpin our current education and health care systems.
The Education Summit’s theme has four strands for proposal submission:
- culturally responsive pedagogy and practice
- community, school, and university partnerships

- cultural and linguistic competence in school and health care systems
This Summit will feature presentations and panels, interactive workshops, and dialogue sessions led by experts from Iowa and the nation.
