Before you run off to enjoy the holidays, take a minute to RSVP for…  
Accessing the Brilliance of Tomorrow's Leaders Today’s educators compete with media images that consistently contradict productive scholarly messages given by guardians and teachers and are faced with masses of students of color struggling to find their place of “success” within the academic arena. This keynote and workshop will examine historical and contemporary media images that influence not only our children but communicate to the world significant inaccuracies about their intellectual capabilities. Both will also address ways in which we can apply culturally responsive pedagogy to access the voice and promise of our future leaders as well as describe a renewed framework for challenging our students to embrace academics and accept and maintain their true cultural identity.
