Who Attends and Why…?

NCSD’s conferences consistently engage a diverse group of 250-300 key stakeholders—advocates, researchers/scholars, educators, integration program directors, parents, students, and activists—in dialogue with policymakers and one another. For practitioners seeking support and training to be more effective in their integration efforts, NCSD’s conferences are one of few spaces where integration-specific professional development is available.

About the Program

Our 21st Century School Integration conference will feature an array of engaging and dynamic plenary sessions, workshops, and multiple networking opportunities.

The voices of students, parents, and educators who aspire to create and sustain racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and linguistic integration in their schools will take center stage during NCSD’s 2015 conference. For the first time, we will convene and connect K-12 students participating in integration programs and/or doing racial justice organizing. We also aim to engage key leaders of complementary reform efforts to help identify shared values; strengthen our practice; recommit ourselves to effecting positive, systemic change; and forge paths to future collaboration and collective action.
