IPS school parents, patrons invited to important conference
The IPS Conference on Infusion is back again and celebrating its 15th year of service to the community. Again this year, it will be held on the grounds of Crispus Attucks Middle School in the Multicultural Center. The conference runs from Oct. 24 through Oct. 26. The 3-day conference is filled with a variety of educated speakers and rewarding workshops. Thursday’s theme is “Urban Education: Challenges, Pitfalls and Strategies. The focus is on the national No Child Left Behind Act and whether it is a burden or a blessing to traditional schooling. Also, the implications of this national movement and the effects it has on our urban school communities will be addressed. Conference director Pat Payne will begin the conference with giving the participants her thoughts on the purpose and overview of the 3-day gathering. Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, the keynote speaker, will give his address early Thursday afternoon. He is the president of African-Ameri-can Images, a communications company based in Chicago. He is the author of several books, including Developing Positive Self Images and Discipline in Black Children, Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys,
and his latest book. State of Emergency: We Must Save African American Males. Friday’s session is titled. Closing the Gap: Culturally Responsive Curriculum & Instruction. The day will focus on the tools and strategies needed to meet the challenges of the No Child Left Behind Act. This day will have panel discussions, led by Dr. Khaula Murtadha, associate dean, 1UPUI School of Education, and strategic planning sessions, which will include educators, school personnel, superintendents, businessmen/ women, parents, and community leaders. Friday’s session will conclude with PROJECT REACH (Respecting, Ethnic & Cultural Heritage), a comprehensive diversity initiative, that addresses issues, practices and perspectives that prevent us from living together effectively and posi-
tively within a culturally pluralistic world. The John Marshall Middle School Certified REACH Team will facilitate this initiative. Oct. 26 is the IPS Parent Resource Fair from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It is sponsored by the IPS parent Coalition and it is free to the public. All parents in each of the school districts are invited to attend. Spearheading the 3-day conference is Pat Payne, director of the Indianapolis Public Schools Center for Multicultural Education. She helped open the center in 1987 and the center is comprised of the IPS Office of Multicultural Education and the Crispus Attucks Museum. Mrs. Payne is also the producer and host of the cable television show, Multicultural Points and Perspectives. Please come out and support these events.
