“The academy provides both a means and a place where people can ask questions about important educational issues, then gather together to talk, study, and respond to those issues.”

“The academy for educational studies hosted two academic conferences in 2023 - the critical questions in education conference, in san diego, california, in late february/early march; and the critical questions in education symposium, in november, in chicago, illinois. The conference focused on three topics: "cleaning the closest" of educational ideas--that is, getting rid of educational ideas that are outdated or don't work; letters to teachers--that is, the letter to a teacher that you have long wanted to write, but haven't; and the advantages of experiential education. The symposium focused on a single topic: teaching, then and now: how has the narrative of teaching changed? Over two hundred and forty people attended the conference; about 150 people attended the symposium. The academy continued its relationship with myers education press. One book has been published--literary imagination and professional knowledge: using literature in teacher education. A second book will be published very soon--a book that challenges over a dozen generally accepted "common ideas" in education. We distributed books at both gatherings--san diego and chicago--to those in attendance. The academy continues to publish scholarly articles in its blind peer-reviewed open-access online journal, critical questions in education.”
