Promising Practices plays a key role in defining multi-cultural and diverse education in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The 2008 Conference will include keynote speaker Peggy McIntosh, over 20 workshops, and a curriculum resource fair offering a wide variety of resources for educators serving an increasingly diverse student population: race, ethnicity, language, class, gender and ability.
The audience includes current K-12 educators in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Rhode Island College faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Feinstein School of Education, and undergraduate and graduate students who are content area specialists or teachers in training.
