During the past 12 months, the discussion regarding the pending reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) has spawned significant debate and controversy, stimulated discussions between and among various constituencies in education and special education, and generated several key proposals for change. Specifically, the recommendations from the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education, and the related requirements associated with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, No Child Left Behind may offer opportunities and challenges for parents and educators of children with special needs. On January 18 in Sacramento, 120 representatives from 40 statewide organizations representing parents and educators convened a statewide Summit, designed to identify issues of consensus regarding the proposed reauthorization. The result of the Summit will be a position paper that will form the basis for testimony to be given in Washington in March, for the start of proposed federal hearings. Come hear about the results of the Summit, and the implications for reauthorization of this critical legislation for all children, parents and educators. Brent Duncan, Ph.

EXTENDED SESSIONS: *Becoming an Anti-Racist Teacher: Addressing Whiteness in the School and Classroom In this session, largely framed by critical pedagogy, participants will be lead through a series of activities designed to address the ways in which whiteness impacts what goes on in the school and classroom. Participants will first define whiteness as a cultural script for themselves. Next, through role-play, poetry, autobiographical narrative, and dialogue, participants will explore the complex and often contradictory cultural scripts that they draw on to make sense of certain educational contexts, and to develop their own practice. They will then look at the ways in which these cultural scripts are an expression of whiteness. Finally, participants will share their ideas as to the collective and individual action they may take to address whiteness in the school and classroom.
