CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN: ADDRESSING DISPROPORTIONALITY
Some of the nation?s top education experts gathered and addressed issues of equity, power and privilege, race, systems change, and policy leadership. Seventy-five concurrent sessions focused on creating culturally responsive educational systems to assure equity in educational outcomes for all students and become the vehicle for eliminating the disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education. There was tremendous participant interaction, culminating in a Town Hall at the end of the conference that will guide continuing work.
