Maryland Cultural Proficiency Conference
Realizing the Equity Agenda: Courage, Leadership, and Resilience
October 24 – October 25, 2017
The theme: Realizing the Equity Agenda: Courage, Leadership and Resilience addresses an important time in the educational community as we take stock on both the meaning and implications of local discourse about equity, the national conversation on education, and its intersection with the imperative that we eliminate gaps in student achievement and outcomes while raising academic rigor make this moment paramount in our efforts. We will examine what it means to be courageous in a time of continuing demographic changes of the public school population, what it means to offer effective leadership serving the students who attend our schools today, and how we garner resilience to resist the temptation to be stagnant. We must continue our transformation toward responsive education that meets the needs of every learner.
This year’s keynote speakers are Drs. Frances Kendall, Lisa Williams, and Tanya Williams. There will be highly engaging and interactive sessions that you will not want to miss.
