The Fifth Annual Multicultural Conference at the University of Southern Indiana: February 27, 2010 will investigate the factors that both enhance and inhibit the development of transformative curriculum. The following strands are proposed:
1. Local and “private space” voices in the development of curricular content.
2. Self-critique and the language of “at-risk” and “achievement gap”.
3. Curriculum Design Models: What is appropriate for the Local Education Agency?
Each strand will help participants engage with the process of curricular design and begin to recognize their responsibility to develop innovative programs, courses, units, and lessons.
You are invited to submit a proposal to present at the 2010 Multicultural Education Conference. The deadline for submission is January 15, 2010. For more information, click on Call for proposals under 5th Annual Multicultural Education Conference tab on the left side of this page.
