Germantown: Fifth Annual Education Research Forum
September 22, 2011 through September 23, 2011
Germantown Campus, Auditorium
Location: 2745 Hacks Cross Road, Germantown, TN 38138
Theme: Transforming Education for Diverse and Urban Learners
The Union University School of Education's Annual Research Forum brings together educators, researchers, teacher candidates and pre-service teachers for two days in order to raise positive and constructive discussions about educational issues. This year's theme, Transforming Education for Diverse and Urban Learners, focuses research, presentations, and discussion on holistic ways to think about teachers and learners. Diversity and urban education demand attention paid to community, student, and educator in order to produce wholly engaged, achieving learners. To that end, we recognize the importance of research-based instructional strategies, theory grounded discussions, and original research presentations. We welcome these kinds of discussions and presentations that will advance thinking about education beyond achievement and mandates.
