Join us this summer for the Center for Urban Education Summer Education Forum, CUESEF!

CUESEF: Critical Pedagogy for a Changing World — Innovation & Justice in Urban Education is a two-day professional learning institute designed for educators, youth-serving practitioners, and community partners committed to justice-centered teaching and learning. 

Participants can expect a highly interactive experience where learning happens through dialogue, reflection, and collaboration. Sessions are facilitated by CUE faculty, staff, and graduate affiliates, highlighting the Center for Urban Education as a regional resource for meaningful and transformative practice. 

Across the two days, participants will engage in: 

• Workshops focused on innovation and justice in urban education 

• Affinity-based lunch conversations facilitated by CUE affiliates 

• A youth panel centering students’ perspectives on schooling, learning, and justice 

• Structured opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and cross-role collaboration  

CUESEF 2026 is designed to move beyond passive professional learning, offering participants to learn from one another, build relationships, and imagine what education must become in a changing world. 

ACT 48 Credit is available.
