Dear Colleagues:
The National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) Spring Conference, will be hosted by the Wicomico County Public
School System. The conference will be held at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center on Saturday, April 25, 2009, from 8:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The theme of the conference is “Success ~ Every Student Everyday”: Eliminating the Achievement Gap. Participants will be
able to choose breakout sessions from strands including: Strategies for Eliminating the Achievement Gaps/No Child Left
Behind, Diversity/Relationships and Cross-Culture Competencies, Positive School Climate, Parent/Community Involvement,
Education that is Multicultural, and Developmental Assets.
This year the conference will provide information to assist schools as they implement their Bridge to Excellence Master Plans.
One of the requirements for these plans is the inclusion of the components of the state’s Education That is Multicultural
Regulation.
Besides being an excellent professional development opportunity, the conference enables school systems to showcase their
exceptional programs, staff, and accomplishments. I ask your assistance in encouraging our staff to attend the conference and
even facilitate a session workshop. Our conference planning committee hopes that supervisors and other leaders from WCPS
will be involved in the conference which focuses on improving achievement for all students.
Enclosed please find registration forms which you can pass on to your staff members. Also included is the proposal
documentation which must be completed if you would like to present.
Thank you in advance for your support of the 2009 MMC/NAME Spring Conference.
Sincerely,
Dr. Judylynn Mitchell
