Culturally Responsive Teaching Conference Invitation

September 19th - 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

The 2nd Annual Culturally Responsive Teaching Conference will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2015. at the Community College of Baltimore County, on the Dundalk campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The theme this year is “CRT Nuts & Bolts: The Scope and Definition of CRT”.

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.

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.

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.
