[RSCT] American Conference on Diversity SUMMER Educators' Institute 2010

[Shanelle Henry Robinson]

Greetings from the American Conference on Diversity!

The American Conference on Diversity is a human relations organization that
values diversity, educates and empowers leaders, promotes inclusion and
respect in schools, workplaces and communities.  The work of the American
Conference on Diversity is among the most important activities we can do to
create a positive, inclusive society.  Our vision is to work with leaders to
create and enhance a society that embraces social justice for us all.

The American Conference on Diversity, in cooperation with the Peter
Sammartino School of Education at Fairleigh Dickinson University and with
funding from the Wachovia Foundation, is pleased to present the 2010 Summer
Educators' Institute: "Creating Multicultural Learning Environments."  Open
to teachers, administrators, counselors, and other individuals interested in
building more inclusive and affirming classrooms and schools, this intensive
four-day Summer Educators' Institute will provide participants with the
knowledge and skills necessary to work towards the elimination of all forms
of discrimination and the creation of equitable and inclusive school
environments.  Participants will receive a total of 28 CEU hours upon
completion of all 4 days of the Educators' Institute.  

 

dates & topics of study

 

The Institute will take place on July 6-9, 2010 from 9:00am - 5:00pm at
Fairleigh Dickinson University (Madison, NJ Campus). Each day of the
institute will focus on a different topic area of diversity and social
identity (e.g. race, religion, class, sexual orientation, age, gender,
etc.), providing participants with a variety of theoretical and practical
applications for learning.  Participants must attend each full day of the
Institute to receive the CEU hours.
