EDU101DiversityConference

Attend at least one presentation at UMF's [|Diversity Conference]. The keynote speaker is scheduled during Common Time so there are no classes that conflict with that presentation.

Before the next EDU 101 class, write a blog entry about a Diversity Conference presentation you attended. In the first paragraph, tell the name(s) of the presenter(s) and the topic(s). Tell what you learned about the topic(s) and what you liked/didn't like about the presentation(s) itself. Start a new paragraph and tell how you see the information from the presentation impacting you as a teacher. Will it impact what you teach, how you teach, the way you interact with parents when you teach,. . . ?

If you can't attend a Diversity Conference presentation due to work or another commitment, find a journal article in a peer-reviewed journal (the nice person at the reference desk at Mantor Library can help you or there are many online through Mantor's Web site) about diversity in America's classrooms. Write a summary of the article and a review (what were the good and the bad points of the content of the article as well as how the article was written). Post the summary and review in a blog entry.
