A Framework for Strategic Planning in Higher Education
3 March 2023
What does it mean to engage in strategic planning that centers movement-building and anti-oppressive goals? This half-day online workshop presents the framework, approaches, and materials for strategic planning that I have developed and used as a leader and consultant in numerous colleges, centers, and other units in higher education.

Many examples will come from my work with colleges, departments, and centers in the field of education, but the approaches will be applicable to a variety of educational institutions, and although the workshop is designed for educational leaders (particularly deans, chairs, and directors), registration is open to all who are interested. During the workshop, participants will have time to work in groups to dive more deeply into the concepts and materials, consider what they might mean for their respective contexts, and develop and get feedback on an action plan.

A Framework for How to Engage Faculty in Higher Education
17 February 2023
This half-day online workshop is designed for leaders in higher education (particularly deans and associate deans, department chairs, and program directors) who are interested in exploring approaches to improve the level and type of engagement by faculty—particularly faculty who are under-engaging (not doing their share) and faculty who are engaging counterproductively (causing problems). Drawing on my work as a leader and a consultant in colleges and universities across the country, I will present a framework of five broad approaches, each illustrated with numerous examples as well as with questions for leaders to consider as they build their individual, collective, and institutional capacities for this work. Many examples will come from my work with schools and colleges of education, but the approaches will be applicable to a variety of educational institutions, and although the workshop is designed for educational leaders, registration is open to all who are interested.

Summer Round-Up: Ten Recent Education Policy Regressions … and the Trouble with Progressive Frames"
4 August 2022
This summer in the U.S., we have seen profoundly unjust developments in legislation, policy, and the courts at the federal, state, and local levels regarding education, with more just around the corner. How are we to make sense of this moment, including the strengths and weaknesses of responses by progressives? Presented by Kevin Kumashiro, this webinar briefly summarizes and analyzes ten such developments – such as on abortion, affirmative action, censorship, guns, nutrition, online schooling, prayer, teacher credentialing, unions, and vouchers – and trends that tie them together. The webinar also critically analyzes common narratives by progressives, and preliminarily offers more strategic re-framings.

22 June 2022
**You can access the recording here; passcode fpj$P6g6
In the midst of so many attacks on and injustices in schools, universities, and beyond, we often wonder what we can do as educational scholars, what is to be our intervention in this moment, and what does it mean to do our work as part of larger movements. For example, what can I do when my state passes a harmful law, my district is being threatened, or my university is complicit Expanding on the theme of “Collective Scholarship for Public Pedagogy” for the upcoming 12th International Conference on Education and Justice, this webinar describes and offers tips for scholars acting collectively – that is, working collaboratively to leverage scholarship for public pedagogy that aims to raise critical consciousness. We look at how to write collectively (ways to organize groups), how to write publicly (ways to reach the public, leaders, and the media), and how to write pedagogically (ways to reframe the narrative and reach larger audiences), with examples of current and recent groups and initiatives across the United States. We conclude with lessons learned and concrete tips for either connecting with existing networks or forming new ones. Designed for educational scholars but open to the public, this 1-hour webinar will be facilitated by Dr. Kevin Kumashiro.

Part II: 18 August 2021
Organized by the American Educational Research Association Division on Curriculum Studies (AERA Division B)

PREVIOUS “LEADING WHEN FACULTY AND STUDENTS PUSH FOR JUSTICE” WEBINAR
12 August 2020
Education for democracy and justice requires constantly questioning, troubling, and remaking itself. Even when leaders and educational institutions are championing this work, educators, students, and other community members are unsurprisingly rising up, pushing back, organizing, advocating, resisting, and transforming, particularly in this historical moment, and in ways that build on past and ongoing social movements. As in broader society, concerns are raised in educational institutions in a range of ways and for a variety of reasons, with all of the contradictions and complexities that are inherent in activism and politics. Leaders—as well as those who are voicing concerns—may not always be clear on the concerns and the interconnections, or on how to respond in ways that advance collectively the larger vision of justice. Facilitated by Dr. Kevin Kumashiro, this webinar presents frameworks that map out 39 types of concerns that get raised about inequity and injustice in K-12 and higher-education institutions, and 4 modes of communication about those concerns. Strategies will be shared for engaging with different forms of communication and working in solidarity to more deeply understand and productively respond to the vast range of possible concerns. This webinar is open to the public, but designed especially for educational leaders in higher education.

PREVIOUS “MEDITATION PRACTICES FOR EDUCATORS, LEADERS, AND ACTIVISTS” WEBINAR
7 August 2020
As we prepare to begin the fall term in schools and universities, and in the midst of a global pandemic, heightened anxiety and trauma, and political turmoil and uprising, educators, leaders, and activists who are advancing democracy and justice must continue to find ways to care for ourselves and build our own individual capacities to thrive, to grow, to be well, and to find joy in our lives and our work. In this introductory, interactive webinar, Dr. Kevin Kumashiro will share three of his favorite meditation practices—for mindfulness, for stress release, and for compassion—with brief presentations and time for participants to practice and reflect on each exercise. The practices will draw on the facilitator’s background as a mindfulness scholar and certified yoga teacher, but will be presented as nonreligious practices for anyone, regardless of religion or faith. Open to the public, but designed especially to support educators, leaders, and activists in K-12 and higher education.
