<Title>Culturally Responsive Teaching Conference Invitation</Title>
<Tagline>September 19th -  8:00 am to 4:00 pm</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The 2nd Annual Culturally Responsive Teaching Conference will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2015. <span>at the Community College of Baltimore County, on the Dundalk campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.</span><span> The theme this year is <em>“CRT Nuts &amp; Bolts: The Scope and Definition of CRT</em>”.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This year we will again hold the CRT Educators Town Hall with an interactive panel of educators to discuss current CRT issues and pedagogical strategies for K-12 and for institutions of higher education.  Our keynote speaker is Lloyd Sheldon Johnson, Ph.D. of Bunker Hill Community College. Professor Johnson is nationally recognized for his work in diversity, human relations, and education. He will be joined by 30 presenters from across the nation discussing issues around culturally responsive teaching.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Further, at CCBC our highest concern is for the empowerment, engagement, validation and success of our students. As such, CCBC students will again be involved in the conference in various and important ways. Students will attend as student scholars, are featured in our mid-day talent show, and will be a part of important panels such as the one that discusses CCBC’s Male Student Success Initiative.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>So join us for a full day of valuable conversations with educators across the region and nationally. As our theme promises, be prepared for a full exploration of educational tools already in use in the nation’s classrooms.</div>
    <div>You may register by going to <a href="www.CRT-cc.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.CRT-cc.org</a>. For questions or comments please contact Penny Sorrick <a href="mailto:psorrick@ccbcmd.edu">psorrick@ccbcmd.edu</a>.</div>

<Title>Mentors for CBM CARES&#174; Initiative Needed</Title>
<Tagline>Orientation on August 19th 6:00 pm</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The <a href="http://www.cbmnational.org/cbm-cares-national-mentoring-initiative/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CBM CARES® National Mentoring Initiative</a> is part of a comprehensive outreach project designed to improve academic and life outcomes for youth enrolled in middle schools nationwide where CBM chapters are located. <em>CBM CARES® is currently opening a new chapter of the organization in Baltimore.</em>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Targeted interventions include group life skills sessions and enrichment activities to expose youth to career choices, life goals, school attachment and good citizenship. Mentees are provided with one-to-one and group mentoring opportunities that allow them to grow by partnering with mentors who can share life experiences and otherwise offer themselves as good role models.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>These are the requirements for people interested in becoming mentors:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li><span>Mentors need to be at least 21 years old </span></li>
    <li><span>the 3 school partners are in close proximity to UMBC:  Beechfield Elementary/Middle School, North Bend Elementary/Middle School, and Rognel Heights Elementary School.</span></li>
    <li><span>These schools are identifying students that would be a great fit for the program.  </span></li>
    <li><span>There are opportunities to engage in one-on-one mentoring AND group mentoring.  As I understand, there is flexibility to arrange the one-on-one meetings; all are engaged in the weekend outings.</span></li>
    <li><span>In-school group sessions take place during the school day:  Tuesdays at North Bend, Wednesdays at Beechfield, and Thursdays at Rognel Heights.</span></li>
    <li><span><strong>If folks are interested in getting involved, there is a Mentor Orientation/Training that is happening THIS Wednesday, August 19th, at 6 pm.  Please see the attachment! </strong></span></li>
    <li><span>Imhotep Simba (Program Manager) seeks to begin the program the week of September 7th; if you cannot make Wednesday night's session, you could reach out to Imhotep for the next possible time.</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>You can go directly to the website to submit an application  </span><span><a href="http://www.cbmnational.org/cbm-cares-national-mentoring-initiative/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.cbmnational.org/cbm-cares-national-mentoring-initiative/</a></span>
