Welcome and Keynote Address:
Dr. Howard Fuller - No Struggle, No Progress Dr. Howard Fuller, PhD, is nationally known for his unending support of trans-formative education options that empower low-income families. Dr. Fuller is recognized for his work as a civil rights activist, education reform advocate, as well as a respected academic. He is a Distinguished Professor of Education, and Founder/Director of the Institute for the Transformation of Learning at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fuller’s recent book, No Struggle No Progress, is based on the truth he found in the words of African-American statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass: "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will." An Education Week book review concludes, “Howard has always worried a helluva lot more about fighting for his principles than about placating his friends.” AAPF attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Fuller’s book. Dr. Fuller’s keynote will recognize that reengagement demands alternative strategies as well as valuing the work of educators who struggle to reengage youth. He will challenge attendees to be fearless advocates for equity and to empower underserved students. |
