We need to change the way we think and talk about urban schools. Instead of thinking about urban schools as inferior to suburban schools, we need to think about them as places in which students bring different experiences that can be built on for learning. Topics at the conference will include images of urban education, how students from city schools view teaching and education, and what city teachers and administrators know about teaching well in the urban environment. Materials will be available on local teacher preparation programs and resources on teaching in urban schools. Sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, February 28, at MCC's Brighton Campus, Building 8, Room 100.
Admission is free, but registration is required.
