FEATURED SPEAKER: H. RICHARD MILNER IV
Opportunity Centered Teaching
H. Richard Milner IV
Students tend to succeed when mechanism are in place to support them. Opportunity gaps, particularly for Black and Brown students, those who live below the poverty line, Muslim students, those whose first language is not English, and those who have a learning disability can result in students’ lack of academic and social success. Educators tend to have good intentions and work overtime to meet the needs of their students. However, in order to meet the complex needs of students during these challenging times, they must build knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, mindsets and dispositions to support students and with work communities. With an explicit focus on disrupting inequity inside and outside of education, this keynote will focus on imperatives necessary to build and cultivate justice and equity through Opportunity Centered Practices in classrooms, schools, and districts.
