Confront Prejudice -- Build Community
A Workshop with Dr. William Howe
Tuesday, August 21 4:30-7:00 p.m.
What makes us distrust differences and separate “Us” from “Them”? Fear of what we don’t understand? Deep-rooted biases? View the exhibit Them: Images of Separation and join in an enlightening workshop where you will question how you view ”others.”
Dr. William A. Howe is the program manager for culturally responsive education, multicultural education, bullying & harassment, gender equity and civil rights at the Connecticut State Department of Education. He is the founder of the New England Conference on Multicultural Education (NECME) and Past President of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME).
Dr. Howe has been an educator for more than 35 years and has given more than 400 workshops, lectures and keynotes on diversity, multicultural education and organizational development. He is a regular presenter at state and national conferences and has appeared on both radio and television to discuss diversity issues.
Comments from previous worshop participants:
Bill Howe was by far the most engaging
and effective facilitator I have ever had.
Highly recommend this course – wish it were longer.
This workshop is a must for any educator-teacher, administrator, parent, office supervisor – to understand how to create an environment that provides safety, acceptance, and freedom to live and learn in our ever-changing world.
