University Memorial Center
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.
