National Association for Multicultural Education Annual Summer Institute - Registration Open Now!

From the National Association for Multicultural Education:

NAME is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the summer 2012 institute, Addressing the Demographic Imperative: Recruiting and Preparing a Diverse and Highly Effective Teaching Force.

The institute will begin at noon Thursday, June 28, and conclude at 2pm Saturday, June 30. It is designed primarily for teams of up to 5 people, representing a college of education, school district, and community, who wish to develop a plan for diversifying the teaching force in their own region. Although individuals may register, you will note that registration rate is lowest if you come as a member of a team. Your registration fee will cover your attendance at workshops, most meals, and conference materials. Do not make travel arrangements until we have contacted you, letting you know that enough people have registered to make this institute a “go.”

The attached flier provides some information about the workshops that will be offered. We are very excited by the excellent expertise and records of experience that the workshop presenters will be making available to you!

Register early, since attendance is limited to 125 people. The registration link can be found at: http://nameorg.org/name-2012-summer-institute/
