August workshop

Educating Children of African Descent
August 19-20, 2009

Network for the Development of Children of African Descent (NdCAD) is pleased to offer professional development training workshops for early childhood providers, school teachers and administrators, parents and family advocates.

Find out what leading African educators and researchers say about these and other questions:
-What core issues lie beneath the academic achievement gap?
-How does cultural identity impact school readiness and academic success?
-How do you build successful partnerships between parents, schools/programs, and the cultural community?

This year's training institute will feature two educational workshops. Both workshops are designed for adults who work with children and families of African descent. The goal is to help broaden how educators, service providers, and parents think about education within an African-centered cultural context.
