It is a year of anniversaries!

This year we celebrate 10 years of the Academy of Process Educators and 25 years of Process Education.

One of the fundamental principles of Process Education is that every learner can learn to learn better, regardless of current level of achievement; one's potential is not limited by current ability. This principle affects nearly every facet of education, including definitions of success and failure, models of student success, pathways for recovery, cultural analyses of success and failure, and finally our beliefs about learners and ourselves as educators. This year’s conference has a special format bringing together many of the people who have shaped Process Education into what is today with current practitioners and researchers from across the disciplines. It is our sincere hope that with our jointly held belief in positive outcomes for learners, we can use this special anniversary opportunity to teach and learn from one another, each improving our own ability to turn the all-too-real instances of failure and risk we encounter into academic (and life!) success.
