Subject to Change Preconference Sessions: Monday, November 29th 1-4PM #1 - Beyond the "Culture of Poverty": Creating Class-Equitable Learning Environments Paul Gorski, www.edchange.org Over the past twenty years, the "culture of poverty" myth, which suggests that poor people embody a common and predictable set of values, attitudes, and behaviors, has dominated conversations about class, poverty, and education. This myth, steeped in false stereotypes about poor people's attitudes about education, parenting, and so on, has contributed to a growing "deficit" approach to addressing class inequities in schools. In this interactive workshop we will explore the stereotypes associated with the "culture of poverty," how they feed into deficit thinking, and what this means for low-income families. We will then turn our attention to considering a more authentic, justice-oriented approach to creating class-equitable learning environments for all people. #2 - Advocacy and Education - Insuring the Future of Your CTE Program Jonathon Lightman, www.faccc.org #3 - Grant, CTE Collaboratives and Other Funding Opportunities Keep checking back for more details...
