Contact us at conference@progressiveeducationnetwork.org\n \n Buy Conference Tickets Here\n \nConference Theme\n \nLast time we convened in Columbus\, we explored ‘The Space Between’—the often-overlooked space where tension\, ambiguity\, and relationships live. We named it as the place where progressive education has always done its deepest work\, even as traditional systems rushed toward efficiency and standardization. \nNow our attention turns to Beyond the Edges. If The Space Between asked us to notice and inhabit what lies within existing systems\, Beyond the Edges invites us to ask: What happens when the old edges themselves no longer hold? What comes after the versions of “traditional” and “progressive” education we’ve inherited? \nAt PEN 2026\, an “edge” is: \n\n\nA boundary – the place where one thing ends and another begins: the edge of a system\, a role\, a belief\, a practice. \n\n\nA threshold – a crossing point into what’s not yet known: where we step from the familiar into the experimental. \n\n\nA marker – a line that shows us what we’ve inherited: the limits of traditional and even “classic” progressive education. \n\n\nA tool – something we can use to define and redefine what can be in order to create new possibilities for learners. \n\n\nAn invitation – a place that calls us closer: come look here\, come listen here\, come step over this line. \n\n\nEdges are the places where our current systems\, stories\, and practices end—and the next possibilities begin. \nWe gather to challenge the limits of both traditional and progressive frameworks and to co-create boundaryless\, ethical ecosystems. This is an opportunity to embrace presence in a world competing for attention\, to honor the realities of our classrooms today\, and to prototype possibilities that can thrive beyond the edges—where humanity\, equity\, sustainability\, and flourishing guide our work. \nTogether\, we will explore\, reinforce\, and create ways we can: \nStay present and attend to nuance and complexity; ensuring learning is active\, relational\, and grounded in real humanity. \nEngage learners in deep\, authentic\, purpose-driven experiences that connect to their lives\, communities\, and identities. \nCommit to pushing\, redrawing\, and dissolving edges that no longer serve our students or our world\, through experimentation\, reflection\, and collaboration as essential practices for future-ready learning. \nPrototype intentionally imperfect ideas to move beyond the isolation and spark imaginative\, collective action. \nTransform education into a vibrant\, living practice where learners are empowered to adapt\, create\, and drive positive change within their communities. \nPrevious Speakers\nSince our 2007 conference in San Francisco\, PEN has welcomed renowned speakers\, each of whom has provided our attendees with the thought- provoking\, inspiring\, challenging and expansive experience of considering and re considering the meaning of progressive education\, learning\, creating\, and teaching. Some of our past speakers have included scholars and artists\, activists and advocates for progressive education: \nDr. Liza Talusan\, José Vilson\, Peter H. Reynolds\, Mara Krechvesky\, Stephanie Rond\, Cynthia Amoah\, Jason Blair\, David Brown\, Dr. Bettina Love\, Sam Chaltain\, Jesse Hagopian\, Paul Gorski\, Julian Randall\, Sonia Nieto\, The Honorable Justice Alan C.

In engaging with a wider community of educators\, we take as our starting point the promise and possibility of progressive pedagogy that 100 years ago was a radical proposition\, and affirm its essential role in defining what and how our schools must be as we look forward to the adjacent future and to the next 100 years. \nIn this session\, Tim Fish\, Chief Innovation Officer\, National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) will share insights from hundreds of school visits and offer an emerging framework for transformational learning. Session participants will have the opportunity to explore the essential ingredients of the framework in breakout groups and offer feedback and new avenues for inquiry.

Inspiring Students to Pursue Their Passions DESCRIPTION:Got 20% Time? Inspiring Students to Pursue Their Passions \nDate: Tuesday\, November 9\, 2021 \nTime: 3:30 – 5:30 PM Hawaii / 5:30-7:30 PM Pacific / 7:30-9:30 PM Central / 8:30-10:30 PM Eastern \nVenue: Online Via Zoom \nCost: $45 per participant (Scholarships available! Please inquire at www.hanahauoli.org/pdc.) \nTraditional and over-regimented school schedules rarely give students enough free time each week to pursue a passion project\, design their own inquiry and learning outcomes\, and go above-and-beyond standards to reach a greater depth of knowledge than most curriculum tends to allow. So how might school leaders and educators take small steps to re-think the “master schedule\,” and create space in the school day that “honors and nurtures students’ natural curiosity and innate desire to learn\, fostering internal motivation and the discovery of passion and purpose” (Progressive Education Network\, 2021)? In this workshop\, Melissa Speetjens\, Principal of Waimea Canyon Middle School and Serena Cox\, former Deeper Learning Instructional Coach at Waimea Canyon Middle School\, will share about their work with a 20% Time framework. \nIn this workshop\, K-12 teachers and teacher leaders will be invited to think creatively about how they might use a 20% Time framework within their current school schedule to better support students’ exploration of their own interests\, spark their creativity\, develop a sense of purpose\, share their passion\, and foster student-centered learning and inquiry. They will: \nExplore the Innovator’s Mindset associated with 20% Time \nDesign a plan for implementing 20% Time using a suggested structure and resources \nReceive feedback that is kind\, specific\, and helpful \nExhibit a presentation of learning \nWorkshop participants will be provided with specific examples–grounded in the real life experiences of the presenters–related to engaging community and stakeholder partnerships\, student project management\, and student/teacher reflective practices as integral pieces of student learning and exhibition success. \nTo learn more and register for this and other Hanahau’oli School Professional Development Center online workshops and events\, please visit: www.hanahauoli.org/pdc-calendar URL:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/event/got-20-time-inspiring-students-to-pursue-their-passions/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/Got20Workshop2-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210904T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210911T000000 DTSTAMP:20260501T180812 CREATED:20250919T181634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250920T120809Z UID:6303-1630713600-1631318400@progressiveeducationnetwork.org SUMMARY:The Human Restoration Project: Reimagining Classrooms with Systems-Based Progressive Education Thinking DESCRIPTION:The Human Restoration Project: Reimagining Classrooms with Systems-Based Progressive Education Thinking \nDate: Saturday\, September 4\, 2021 AND Saturday\, September 11\, 2021 \nTime: 8-10AM Hawaii / 11AM-1PM Pacific / 1-3PM Central / 2-4PM Eastern \nVenue: Online Via Zoom \nCost: $50 per person (Scholarships available! Please inquire at www.hanahauoli.org/pdc.) \nCreating a liberatory\, human-centered classroom goes beyond a simple lesson plan or one-and-done workshop session. Instead we must radically reimagine what a classroom is\, questioning our assumptions about schooling\, students\, and educators. In this workshop\, participants will learn about progressive systems in education\, including research\, inquiry questions\, and interactive activities to push for educative systemic change. \nThis workshop is primarily aimed at educators and administrators (from all school types) and will provide an opportunity for learning concepts such as gradeless learning\, restorative justice\, and critical pedagogy\, with a focus on implementation in addition to laying groundwork for the theories. \nTo learn more and register for this and other Hanahau’oli School Professional Development Center online workshops and events\, please visit: www.hanahauoli.org/pdc-calendar URL:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/event/the-human-restoration-project-reimagining-classrooms-with-systems-based-progressive-education-thinking/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/HumanRestorationProjectWorkshop-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210712T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210721T000000 DTSTAMP:20260501T180812 CREATED:20250919T181634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250920T120808Z UID:6302-1626048000-1626825600@progressiveeducationnetwork.org SUMMARY:The Summer 2021 Professional Development Think Tank: Using the Social Justice Standards for Anti-Bias Curricular Redesign DESCRIPTION:The Summer 2021 Professional Development Think Tank: Using the Social Justice Standards for Anti-Bias Curricular Redesign \nDates: July 12\, 14\,19 & 21\, 2021 \nTime: 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time (with a 1 hour mid-morning break)\n11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific / 1:00 to 6:00 PM Central / 2:00 to 7:00 PM Eastern \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nCost: $450 per person / $375 per person for groups of 2+ \nScholarships are available. Please inquire at www.hanahauoli.org/pdc. \nThis summer program will support individual educators and school teams as they work to promote social justice education in their schools. Guided by an expert instructor\, the program will function as a professional community of inquiry\, or Think Tank\, in which participants will have the opportunity to examine current research and best practices\, engage in an anti-bias curricular inquiry and revision process\, reflect and dialogue with peers\, and apply learning to integrate the Learning for Justice (formerly Teaching Tolerance) Social Justice Standards into beloved curriculum and units of study. \nThink Tank participants should be actively planning and delivering instruction in their role and have the professional freedom to make changes to the curriculum they teach. They will begin the program with an inquiry protocol whereby we’ll collaborate to identify gaps and areas for improvement in our curricula. Then\, they will choose a unit to redesign and will be given time\, receive support and learn techniques to revise that unit\, intentionally embedding the goals of anti-bias education into the curriculum. Elements of instruction involved in this “redesign” process will include thematic framing\, essential questions\, text selection\, discussion strategies and authentic assessment. \nIn summary\, the program will take participants through the process of identifying an existing unit of study from their curriculum\, and redesigning that unit in four key areas: \n1) Purpose for Learning \n2) Diversity\, Representation and Inclusion \n3) Critical Conversations \n4) Meaning Making \nThis program is designed for both individual educators and school teams that are looking to create social justice curriculum for their school community. School communities can range from pre-school to higher education\, or non-traditional forms or schooling such as museums or outdoor education programs. Teams can be made up of 2-5 members of a school community who want to engage in the program together. \nParticipants will meet with the instructor on four different days\, four hours per day\, over the course of two weeks. This will allow time for individuals and school teams to meet on their own (or perhaps with other members of their school community) in between sessions to further develop the plans they are working on. It will also ensure that instructors can support participants as they uncover new questions and problems of practice as they emerge over the course of the summer.

This year’s Symposium will introduce participants to both the theory and practice of p4cHI through hands-on engagement in an “intellectually safe” philosophical community of inquiry. Participants will gain a better understanding of the Four Pillars of p4c Hawai‘i (Community\, Inquiry\, Philosophy\, and Reflection) and the p4c Hawai‘i Philosophers’ Pedagogy. This three-week educative experience will help participants apply the p4c Hawai‘i approach to teaching and learning to their own contexts and goals. \nAlso included in the Symposium is the following 2-hour online talk\, which is open to the public: \nExploring the Relevance of Progressive Philosophy in Present Times: Possible Impacts on Individuals\, Schools\, and Society Today\nDate: Wednesday\, July 7\, 2021\nTime: 2:00-4:00 PM Hawaii /5:00-7:00 PM Pacific / 7:00-9:00 PM Central / 8:00-10:00 PM Eastern\nVenue: Online Via Zoom\nCost: $15 per person \nAt this event we bring together a panel of diverse thought leaders who will explore the relevance of progressive philosophy in present times. Located at the intersecting projects of philosophy\, education\, and democracy–progressive philosophy is an emergent term born out of the late 19th Century progressive education movement and the ongoing progressive impulse in education\, which aims to “develop self-actualizing individuals who can take charge of their own lives and participate fully in the creation of a greater public good” (Bruce & Eryman\, 2015\, p. 1). As we collectively make our way through the COVID-19 pandemic recovery period\, we want to wonder together\, how might a progressive philosophy support individuals\, schools\, and society at-large in creating lasting positive change. \nTo further this inquiry\, Theresa Squires Collins of the Progressive Education Network and The Francis W. Parker School in Chicago\, Dr. Masato Ishida of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Department of Philosophy\, Chris McNutt of the Human Restoration Project\, and Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer of the University of Hawaii – West Oahu will serve as panelists. Together with Facilitators Dr. Amber Strong Makaiau and Dr. Chad Miller of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education\, they will share and engage in dialogue around the following questions:\n– What is your “work\,” and what do you love about it? What are your connections with philosophy\, education\, and schooling?\n– What do you think about the term\, progressive philosophy? What does it mean to you?\n– What do you see as the biggest challenges in today’s world? What might be the value of progressive philosophy in addressing these challenges?\n– What might be the possible impact of progressive philosophy on individuals\, schools\, and society in present times?\n– Are there any connections between progressive philosophy and any of your current projects?\n– What new questions have emerged as a result of our time together? \nA collaboration between the Hanahau’oli School Professional Development Center\, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education\, and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Education Progressive Philosophy Pedagogy MEd Interdisciplinary Education\, Curriculum Studies Program — this event aims to build our collective capacity for creating a better future society for today’s children. \nTo learn more and register for these and other Hanahau’oli School Professional Development Center online workshops and events\, please visit: www.hanahauoli.org/pdc-calendar URL:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/event/p4c-hawaii-summer-symposium-2021/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://progressiveeducationnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/SymposiumPostcard-2.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
