October 29, 2012

You are invited to respond to this Call-for-Presenters for the University of Colorado at Boulder, School of Education, Teachers of Color and Allies Summit.  The summit will take place on October 29, 2012.  The theme for this year’s conference is “Critical Perspectives and Radical Possibilities for Urban Communities.” This vibrant conference will bring together educators, students, parents and community members from across the state. By presenting at our conference, you will have the opportunity to share knowledge and expertise, participate in training, and network with others that share in our vision of a culturally relevant education for all students.

Our goal is to provide a diverse and comprehensive educational program—one that engages participants in a variety of learning and sharing opportunities and is relevant for all.  Presentations should be interactive, engaging, insightful, innovative, informative and address topics relative to culturally responsive teaching, empowering parents as activist in their school communities, teachers as activist for educational equity, cultivating student voice, curricular and instructional strategies that teach for social justice, and school culture and climate for educators, students, and parents of diverse backgrounds. 

The conference planning committee will select the presenters through a competitive review process.  Thank you for your interest in sharing your expertise!  Deadline to submit an application is 4:00 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012.  Please note that no application forms will be accepted after this date.
