Beyond Diversity Conference
On April 22-23, Pacific Educational Group and CEUT will host the Beyond Diversity Conference.
Beyond Diversity is a powerful, personally transforming two-day seminar designed to help teachers, students, parents, and administrators understand the impact of race on student learning and investigate the role that racism plays in institutionalizing academic achievement disparities. Participants engage in a thoughtful, compassionate exploration of race and racism and grapple with how each influences the culture and climate of our schools. Participants practice using strategies for identifying and addressing policies, programs, and practices that negatively impact student of
color achievement and serve as barriers for ALL students receiving a world-class education.
