Schedule
8:00-8:45 AM | Check-In and Breakfast
8:45-9:00 AM | Welcome
9:00-11:00 AM | Keynote Speaker: Rosetta Lee
In the ever-changing landscape of student demographics and diversity initiatives, it’s important to pause and go back to the basics. Understanding foundational education of cultural competency and communication is key to any successful initiative or inclusive environment. Rosetta Lee will guide us back to some foundational principles and strategies that can help you be a successful educator whether you are new to education or a seasoned educator.
11:00-11:30 AM | Q & A
11:30 AM | Lunch & Peer Exchange
Cultural competency work rarely happens in isolation, and neither should your learning. Over lunch with other participants, debrief the morning, workshop the real scenarios you're navigating at your own school, and connect with educators doing this work alongside you.
You'll leave with more than a full plate: new relationships, fresh perspectives, and practical ideas you can carry straight back to your classrooms and hallways.
