Aug. 10-12: Current And Aspiring Teachers Of Color and American Indian Teachers Conference


Headed soon

Headed in August to Metro State University In Minnesota deliver a conference keynote and engage in a series of conversations with an array of folks there.  Many Thanks to both Dean RenĂ© Antrop-Gonzalez and The Coalition to Increase Teachers of Color and American Indian Teachers in Minnesota for inviting me. I am very honored!

Looking forward to having a robust community conversation on how to improve the representation of teachers of color and American Indian Teachers in K-12 schools in the Minneapolis area.

AUG. 10-12: CURRENT AND ASPIRING TEACHERS OF COLOR AND AMERICAN INDIAN TEACHERS CONFERENCE


The Coalition to Increase Teachers of Color and American Indian Teachers in Minnesota is hosting their summer 2016 conference at Metropolitan State. The conference begins at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 10 at the Saint Paul Campus, continues 8:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11 and ends on Aug. 12 with panel discussions from 8:30 a.m. until noon.
This conference honors the lived experiences and local knowledge of teachers of color and American Indian teachers by creating a safe and welcoming space in which current and future teachers are the primary participants. A core group of diverse coalition educators are planning the conference to include a series of general sessions and breakout sessions that seek to inspire, affirm, inform and energize. Participants are able to build power networks, develop legislative proposals and create action plans that remove barriers and transform state policy and local institutions to retain and increase teachers of color and American Indian teachers in Minnesota.
There is no registration fee but registration is required as space is limited to the first 300 people. Grant funding is available to support lodging and mileage expenses for those traveling from greater Minnesota. Learn more about the conference at the coalition website or Facebook page.
