What: Facilitated discussion based on the book Courageous Conversations Around Race with Daniel Baron
When: October 19, 2010, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Where: IAA Cafeteria, 6 Archibald St. (IAA at H.O. Wheeler)
Daniel Baron will be facilitating a conversation with families using the book Courageous Conversations Around Race. This conversation will be the first in a series of conversations to occur over the next year and a half.
This is a parent-initiated event. Daniel is a founding member of the National School Reform Faculty. He is a leader in the development and training of Critical Friends Groups as well as the founder of two progressive elementary schools in Bloomington, Indiana. Through a grant provided by the Bay and Paul Foundation, Daniel Baron has been working with both schools to develop and carry out their transformations into fully realized magnet schools. Periodically, he comes to Burlington for three day visits where he works with staff, students, and parents from the magnets and the district office. He is coming October 18, 19 and 20 and will be back for several more visits both this school year and next.
