C: Helping Teachers become Cultural Relevant Teachers: Developing New Tools for a New Generation

马里兰州少数民族成就和城市教育研究所的一个为期12个月的项目包括为在有大量非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的教室工作的至少100名教师和行政人员举行一次全国会议。会议的主题是“帮助教师成为文化相关的教师：为新一代开发新工具”。“会议汇集了全国顶尖的研究人员和从业人员围绕一个重要的主题，以促进城市和少数民族学生的高成就。与研讨会会议有关的一个具体成果是，让主持人把他们的一些工作带到自己的教室里，作为教师和管理人员将在一些会议上分析的新工作的激励。会议结束后，将在三个月、六个月和九个月后对当地教师进行抽样观察，以评估研讨会的想法对他们教学的影响程度。会议参与者还将在六个月的时间点发送一份邮件调查，以确定会议对课堂规划和教学的影响。

The twelve-month project of the Maryland Institute for Minority Achievement and Urban Education (MIMAUE) involves the holding of a national conference for at least 100 teachers and administrators who work in classrooms with large African American and Hispanic student populations. The conference theme is "Helping Teachers become Cultural Relevant Teachers: Developing New Tools for a New Generation." The conference brings together top national researchers and practitioners around a theme of importance in order to promote high achievement among urban and minority students. A specific outcome in relation to the workshop sessions involves having facilitators bring some of their work in their own classrooms to be used as a stimulus for the new work that teachers and administrators will analyze in some of the conference sessions. After the conference, a sample of the local teachers will be observed after three month, six months, and nine months in order to assess the extent to which the ideas from the workshop have influenced their teaching. Conference participants will also send a mail survey at the six-month point to determine the impact of the conference on classroom planning and teaching.
