Still a few spaces left--sign up by Friday April, 6!!!
**Join us for a unique 1-day workshop aboard the Freedom Schooner Amistad in
historic Mystic Seaport, Connecticut, April 23, 2009.**
"Collaborative Leadership, Diversity and Global Awareness for Educators"
Step into history and hear one of the most dramatic stories of courage,
collaboration, and change in American History: the story of the 1839 Amistad
Incident. This powerful story is a way in to the difficult conversations of
race, slavery, oppression and social justice. You will come away with new
ideas for your classroom and new inspiration about the power of
storytelling.
In addition to the story of the Amistad, participants will experience
collaborative leadership, diversity and global education activities and
discussion that will inspire and entertain. Collaboration, leadership,
diversity and global awareness are on everyone's list of 21st Century skills
for students and teachers, and they help the schools establish programs that
set them apart from peer schools. Come and experience a 1-day version of our
programs that has great possibilities for educators.
Workshop outcomes:
--Knowledge of the 1839 Amistad incident and how the story is a model of
courage and alley building
--Increased understanding and ability to facilitate the collaborative
leadership process
--Activities for your classrooms, clubs, and advising groups
--Familiarity with a unique model of multicultural identity: the 5 C's of
Awareness
--Use of your local resources to achieve a global perspective
--Discussion and reflection on how unique programs, such as GYLI,
offer schools a chance to set themselves apart
--Work with nationally recognized experts as well as colleagues from other
schools who face the same economic and programming challenges
