Since this is for teachers, I'd very strongly recommend Dr. William Howe. Bill has an extraordinary cv in this area, is internationally known and respected, and is an exceptional presenter. Besides his credentials as a multicultural educator, Bill has done extensive work on gender issues and was the Title IX officer for the state of Connecticut for years. We've been lucky enough to have him as a keynote speaker and for professional development. I've participated in numerous training sessions, workshops, and professional development opportunities with Bill - he is far and away the best in the field.

Subject: [CASL-L] Diversity speaker?

Dear colleagues,

Please excuse the cross posting.

My principal would like to have a speaker at our school discuss race and gender issues. Would any of you have any recommendations? This is for the teachers, not the students.

Thanks,
