Fairmont School District
89 Superintendent Sonya Whitaker, Ed.D., will give the keynote address,
“Creating a Culture of Achievement during the Era of Common Core Standards.”
Educators have been under
pressure to produce results more than ever before in the history of public
education. At the same time, demographic shifts are bringing a more diverse
student population to schools. Educators are striving to respond, but many lack
the cultural proficiency needed to address the needs of a diverse student
population (Nelson and Guerra, 2007).
During Whitaker’s
inspiring keynote presentation, educators and administrators will develop the
cultural proficiencies needed to dramatically improve student achievement. She will provide participants with practical
instruction and assessment strategies that will help teachers increase the
achievement levels of all their students, especially those from diverse
cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Additional speakers will
focus on topics in reading and writing with practical suggestions for the
classroom teachers. Some of these topics
include technology, bilingual literature, and Common Core State Standards. There
also will be an opportunity to visit with Whitaker for a book signing at the
end of the conference.
This event is cosponsored
by SXU’s School of Education and the Illinois Reading Council Region Region 5
(Will, Two Rivers, and South Suburban Reading Councils.
