Abstract:

There are a number of research studies that show the need for Teachers of Color. Teachers of color matter for all students, but most assuredly students of color. Yet, the number of teachers of color in the workplace continues to lag far behind the number of students of color in schools. Preparation, recruitment, and retention are areas that must be addressed in order to maintain teachers of color. In this presentation, participants will learn what preservice teachers of color say about preparation programs, why teachers of color leave the workforce, and what teachers of color believe would help solve the retention problem. Selected responses from interviews with over 25 teachers of color representing a Historically Black College, a linguistic conference, and local schools will be shared.

Abstract:

Every classroom, school, and community has students with high potential. It is imperative that educators identify these youths to help them achieve all that they are capable of becoming. This presentation will focus on classroom strategies used to identify and address the needs of potentially gifted and talented students. Legislation and how it can impact teacher evaluation will also be reviewed. Commonly used terms, models of best practice, related research, and comprehensive resources will be shared, along with creative teaching strategies focused on increasing student curiosity, motivation, and engagement.

Abstract:

The systems in which we engage have become increasingly difficult to manage. Studies have documented a clear rise in hate crimes, otherizing, and general intolerance among people and groups. There may be no better time than now to learn Nonviolent Communication (NVC) strategies. Strategies introduced in this presentation may be used in any context. Nonviolent Communication is rooted in the work of Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg and has a strong psychological research base. Attendees will learn the four key components of NVC, discuss how these components can be used to improve communication, and practice the four components.
