Building Partnerships to Support Youth of Promise
Many children have been labeled as “at-risk” of academic failure. With such a label, emphasis has been on the possibility of failure, not on the promise these children possess. The goal of this conference is multifaceted, highlighting:
- Research-based pedagogy that helps children reach their academic potential,
- Teachers, K-12 schools, school districts, and/or institutions of higher learning and partnerships that have demonstrated a successful track record with underrepresented groups,
- Policies that support youth of promise and help meet the needs of all children,
- Civil rights for children, and
- The need for a diverse faculty at K-16 institutions.
Conference Strands:
- Civil Rights for Children
- Engaging Minds
- Policies to Support Youth of Promise
Pedagogy will be woven throughout the sessions.
In addition we will offer:
- Workshops
- Conference Sessions
- Community Celebration
