2020 Leadership in Diversity Multicultural Conference
Saturday, March 28th, 2020
08:30 AM - 04:00 PM
Storrs Campus Austin Building
The Fifth Annual Multicultural Education and Culturally Responsive Teaching Conference will be taking place on March 28, 2020.
Our theme this year, Reframing the Picture: A New Vision for Our Students, was inspired by the start of a new decade. Being that it is 2020, we wanted to link the phrase “2020 vision” to the theme of our conference. As we thought deeper about 2020 vision, we saw it as an opportunity to focus our attention on the importance of student voice and identity. The aim of our conference is to uplift and provide clarity to educators and professionals in the field of education.
This is a conference for professionals in the education field, current students in teacher prep programs, and those interested in the field of education. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions on a variety of topics related to multicultural education andculturally responsive teaching. The conference will close with remarks from our keynote speaker Valencia De' La Clay.
To be considered as a presenter, your proposal must be completed in its entirety and received by Leadership in Diversity by 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 22, 2020.
Submit your proposal online at https://forms.gle/CSLGWwG3dEU8ZVrz6
