PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
On this year’s agenda we will have distinguished speakers, lively panels and targeted workshops to inform, inspire and energize our commitment to serve as Black educator activists and improve outcomes for our students.
Additionally, inspired by the 30th anniversary of Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings’s book, “Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Student” & the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown vs Board ruling, this year’s theme is: Deacons For Our Future: DreamKeepers Yesterday, Today, and Forever.
The event will focus on the following critical strands:
1) STEM
2) Curriculum, Instruction and Student Support
3) Leadership and Policy Making
4) Physical, Mental and Social Emotional Health and Wellness
