Dear Educators, Friends, and New Visitors, Reflecting on the events of 2009, we realize the challenges brought by an ever changing educational landscape. Educating for Change is the essence of Dr. Bonnie Davis's work and the work she inspires others to do. Bonnie and the Educating for Change Cadre are in constant motion, moving in new directions, expanding mission and meaning as the needs of children and educators, administrators and schools expand in an ever changing social and educational climate. We welcome you to our on-line community. Dr. Davis was very busy in 2009. She presented at the The Summit for Courageous Conversation 2009 in Baltimore hosted by Mr. Glenn Singleton, President of Pacific Educational Group. This wonderful conference was also sponsored by The Institute for Excellence in Urban Education, West Wind Education Policy, and The School Improvement Network. A highlight among the excellent presenters was the final keynote presentation by Mr. Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP President and Chief Executive. You can read more about Dr. Davis's experience in our Fall e-Newsletter. Bonnie was also in St. Louis for the 2009 41st Annual National Staff Development Conference, December 5-9, 2009 at the Americas Center where she presented a day long, pre-conference session on Saturday on her book, HOW TO COACH TEACHERS WHO DON'T THINK LIKE YOU: USING LITERACY STRATEGIES TO COACH ACROSS CONTENT AREAS. Cadre member, Mary Kim Schreck, joined Bonnie in presenting a concurrent session on Tuesday, December 8th. We are proud to share that Bonnie's latest book, The Biracial and Multiracial Student Experience: A Journey to Racial Literacy, was nominated for the 2010 Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) Award. This award is presented by the Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Division of the Association of American Publishers. The award recognizes the best in professional and scholarly publishing by bringing attention to distinguished books, journals and electronic content, published annually in over 40 categories, including education. For those of you who might have missed Bonnie's January 6, 2010 podcast on Mixed Chicks Chat, never fear. You can follow the link at Talk Shoe to hear the full broadcast. We encourage you to tune in to hear Fashen Cox and Heidi Durrow converse with extraordinary guests. Mixed Chicks Chat is "the only live weekly show about being racially and culturally mixed" and airs live every Wednesday at 2:00pm EST, 5:00pm PST. Please visit our website often. Share with friends and colleagues. Our goal is to build a community of educators dedicated to Educating for Change and we will have many new features in the months to come.
