It's titled:
Get Up, Stand Up; Democratic Education as a Right
There's lots of good stuff, including:
Deborah Meier and Jane Andrias, talking about progressive education.
Review and discuss the education reform issues brought up in the film Waiting for Superman. Brit Satchwell, Ann Arbor Education Association president (that's the teacher's union) will help the group develop "talking points" in reponse to the film. [I think this is a really great idea. I haven't seen the film because I thought it would upset me; the idea of developing talking points in response to it sounds like an excellent plan.]
There will also be small group discussions led by Chris Curtis (current Slauson principal), Stewart Wood, and Irene Allen.
The conference is at Camp Ohiyesa, which is about a 40-minute drive from Ann Arbor.
