College of Education readies for 3rd annual Research Symposium
GRAMBLING – Dr. Lisa Delpit, noted scholar and executive director of the Center for Urban Education and Innovation at Florida International University, will be the keynote speaker at the College of Education’s 3rd Annual Research Symposium March 26-27, 2009 at the Favrot Student Union. Delpit is the author of several books, including her latest, “The Skin that We Speak: Thoughts on Language and Culture in the Classroom,” which was published in 2008.
This year’s symposium will address ways in which professionals from various disciplines, particularly education, inform best practices in rural P-12 schools. It will also explore collaboration between educators and human-service practitioners to assist in the holistic development of the rural P-12 learner.
“We are excited to have an esteemed scholar such as Dr. Delpit address our symposium,” said Dr. Sean Warner, dean of the College of Education. “We are also looking forward to the excellent research presentations this year.”
Warner also reminds the GSU community to support the symposium through the purchase of advertisements in the program or by through a donation.
