The Middle Georgia Diversity in Education Conference will be held at Georgia College on March 24, 2014. Dr. Thomas M. Philip of the UCLA Graduate School of Education will be the keynote speaker: Beyond Disaggregation: Examining
and Addressing Racialization in Classrooms and Schools. The url for conference information and registration is http://diversityconference.gcsu.edu.
At Georgia College we are moving forward in our efforts to prepare teacher candidates for diverse learners. We face many of the same challenges as other selective teacher colleges in rural areas: predominantly Caucasian and female cohorts of teacher candidates, schools for field placements which are lacking in resources and serve high-poverty populations.
