2017 LCEEQ Annual Conference Workshop Proposal

The theme of the seventh annual LCEEQ Conference is: When Diversity and Technology in the Classroom Converge

In February 2016 we focused on diversity and equity. We stated that valuing diversity means recognizing that all students have a unique set of strengths, interests, and circumstances that are kept in mind when addressing particular challenges and concerns. Such individual differences are not seen as deficits; rather they are regarded as barriers that must be addressed through collective efforts and systems that can respond to the needs of the individual.

DEADLINE for proposal submissions is September 30, 2016
