Keynote Speaker – Dr. Debbie Pushor – Professor Emerita @ University of Saskatchewan Canada
Debbie Pushor, Ph.D., is a mother of three adult sons, Cohen, Quinn, and Teague, and a former public school teacher, consultant, principal and central services administrator. She is currently Professor Emerita at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatchewan, Canada. In her program of research, Debbie has engaged in narrative inquiries into family engagement and leadership, a curriculum of parents, parent knowledge, and systematic parent engagement. In her undergraduate and graduate teaching, Debbie’s life work has been to make central an often absent or underrepresented conversation about the positioning of families in relation to school landscapes.

Debbie has published two books with her graduate students: 1) Portals of Promise: Transforming Beliefs and Practices through a Curriculum of Parents, 2) Living as Mapmakers: Charting a Course with Children Guided by Parent Knowledge, and has a third book in press: Fires of Change: A Year of Systematic Parent Engagement. She has also produced a video series called Care as a Bridge Between Us: Living a Philosophy and Pedagogy of Parent and Teacher Engagement, and a podcast series called School Interrupted.
