| ACTIVITY: National Association for Multicultural Education Hosts Conference in Seattle | LOCATION: Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers | |
| DESCRIPTION: Educators, administrators, parents, students and other individuals who want to assure that no child is left behind are encouraged to attend. NAME addresses social justice and diversity in all levels of education. NAME believes that recognizing the multiple perspectives, histories, contributions, and experiences of many students and their communities increases opportunities for success of diverse students. "If we do not address issues of diversity in every aspect of education, we will perpetuate a system of unequal achievement," said Jill Moss Greenberg, executive director of NAME. Measures of academic achievement continue to show that students of color, students from low-income families, and students with disabilities are not achieving at the same level as their classmates. Many students are not achieving the academic competence necessary to compete successfully in a highly competitive business environment. Research strongly supports the importance of drawing on students' cultures and prior experiences to support their success. Presentations will focus on student learning in a policy context, comparative approaches across groups and/or countries, and strategies for institutional change. School-wide programs and classroom curricula that are culturally responsive, address cultural biases, and reduce conflict will be included. NAME welcomes everyone to attend the conference and explore information, networks, tools and strategies for increasing student achievement. Participants will learn how to reach minority students from early childhood to higher education. "I have understood the difference in curriculum development between the lip service to the issue of diversity and the profound transformation of curriculum that makes a difference to our students," said Mijo Pappas-Delachaume, previous NAME attendee and French teacher at Green Hills School, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Join NAME for general sessions including multicultural entertainers, workshops, speakers, talks with authors, Tai Chi, and Seattle area cultural tours. In the evenings, Seattle invites you to explore historic Pike Place Market, ride the monorail to the Space Needle, shop downtown or dine along the waterfront. Educators and individuals interested in participating in the NAME Conference, "From Rhetoric to Reality: Student Achievement in Multicultural Societies," should access the NAME website: www.nameorg.org | CONTACT NAME: Jill Moss Greenberg | |
